Looks good painted, too.

It does look good, but would you spend that much on a type that never actually saw service (at least, that's what l read)? Nice though, l did take a very nice Torro one off Dave n Julie.

Whilst that does look gorgeous there are some historical errors on that Panther

Hi Rob,
the turret shows the typical traces of training ammunition (without explosives) => deformation and cracks

Cheers, so target practice rather than trying to test new types of gun/ammunition.
