Looking good your Panther..

Exellent work on the addition of the extra aircraft attack armour. Moving the anttena to its proper location is pretty easy you should give it a try so you won't have to hide its current location. Just open up the hull and unscrew the wire, heat the brass holder a little while you pull it out. Then at its correct location next to the large cooling fan, drill a hole the correct size to accept the brass holder with a slightly tight fit and heating it again push it into the new hole untill its in level with the top of the molded on mount. Ther will be enough sticking through the hull to reattatch the wire you took off, then fill in the old hole.

Hey Oz, that is one sharp looking Panther, well done with the add-on armor.

dæng. That looked good man.really like the camo.looks like a good runner

thanks for the comments guys I'm glad you like it' although this was my third or fourth attempt to paint a camo i liked but think it works OK.

greengiant' I'm not sure which antenna mount you mean' if its the one between the filler caps on the rear deck i put it there to make the panther a command vehicle instead of the standard tank, just to do things a little different.

cheers guys...........oz.

8)Hi mate,

Well done Oz, the colors are a bit different from the usual examples we see. Have you used a different technique? I am curious as the coloring seems almost sun faded,or faded due to exposure the the elements.

Really like this mate,cheers

sax my old friend!, as you know tamiya make their paints on a 1 to 1 scale and they need to be lightened a bit to make them look in-scale, and i over compensated for this by adding just a little too much yellow to my green base-coat so when 1 finished with the final ronseal varnish it didn't darken down as much as i would have liked, but after using oil and pastel washes i managed to get it to a stage that i was happy with.

hi rock, no problem at all' next time i take her apart I'll take some pics.

thanks guys oz.......
