Hey thanks Mike... the color came out a little richer than my previous mixes...but I think I nailed this one....what's to follow is the tools and yes the decals... I'm going to leave the figure as she is...

Looking Good! The details stand out, even the small ones, to add an air of realism to the Panther. ;o)

Looks rather subdued to me lol................. but the details that were put on...do help...the vents will actually help keep the inside of the tank cool... and helps a great deal with the sound

Thanks Painless

Alpha,
Looking show ready I would say. The paint looks spot on. Another great addition to your Armory. ;o)

I felt I needed this one.... it really allowed me to relax a little..Had thought to seal her and do some pin lining as I really like this tank..but if I did she wouldn't fit anymore.. did get a little more fade to the exhaust... you cant really see it... as I couldn't get low enough
But all in all she was a fun build ...now I can jump back to my L70... as I also had a chance to experiment with darkening the yellow...so soon KUROMORIMIRO will have another addition to that stable

Thanks for the kind words Painless

yes old chap must say one is impressed wot wot .....

Thanks Canned.... You should get one lol... they are a lot of fun to work on...almost like working on the Shermans... everything is separate as far as tools and such...so nothing that needs special attention or tools..the LED was sunk in pretty well so it was easy to cap it off...the hatch is spring loaded...and I think has a metal handle...I also found some of the castings were actually better or just as good as Tamiya...She's also a very smooth runner
The only thing that bothered me were the aftermarket Tracks... the tolerance is very close... so as you can see...the paint has already been stripped off the teeth of the Sprockets
I like this tank... probably more than the Jagd

Thanks again Canned

ALPHA

PS.Hopefully more pics later...the sun was way too strong today... had a bad case of shadow casting
