Panther F

[Soeren]

Some very nice progress you show us here. I wouldn't worry too much about matching the colors. Unless you have some completely different brands it should be fine.

Start again , Halfords had etch primer , then fixing the storage bins . Bins are attached with brackets not directly onto rear hull and have no bin lid detail.

primer on again better stick this time

brackets fitted . 2 small ones for the support

Bin lid on

Fitted onto brackets and lower support.

Rear hull done. C hook holders and chain, Tow fitting chains, clear plastic tube for convoy light and the bin lids tidied up.

Very nice details! Chains look great

Thanks , found pics of the c hooks on the rear so why not do them.

I remember doing the rear plate details on my Zu Fuss Panther and it does make a big difference , great job

Hi Herman 2 nice pics in the Haynes panther book , show chain attachment points and the bar across the tubes C hooks sit on.

C hook positions and chain fixing points

Another go at the what if camo, F turret can be any camo you want. Will let paint harden up before numbers are applied then tone down the paint.

Going for the slanting effect

Trying for the faded colour

Thinned colour over the hull red

Wanting a scuffed off green on turret top effect

Numbers on ,The foliage loops messed up the positioning of the masks, easy option would be making smaller ones to fit in the gap.

Stage 1

Missed to take pic of stage 2 not perfect due to misalignment of the 3 part mask

This one is better.

They look great.
I assume the same problem would have existed in real life with getting a metal stencil to work over/around the foliage loops too.
