With a large gap between completing the lower hull and the arrival of the upper hull I've had plenty of time to ponder over colour schemes. I'm going with 3 main paints - Schokobraun, Dunkelgelb & Resedagrun -

Haven't done any weathering except for a little "dust" and "tyre rubber". The tracks are the winter tracks, which are extra wide and add a decent amount of well balanced weight -



Set to work on the Panther F upper almost as soon as it arrived . It actually compliments the RCTank.de lower hull really well. Nice heavy & reasonably robust tank



I have been toying with the idea of getting a basic airbrush kit for a while, there's just some things you can do with an airbrush that's quite difficult to do with a regular brush



Got the basic design of of my camo outlined, now its just a matter of filling in the gaps, kind of



I'm trying to imagine the upper finished & weathered like the lower



Not sure which side i like the most, or if I like it. I'm sure that i'll have a better idea after the painting and weathering. Seems like such a long way ahead

I'm sure it will all come together for you, you've got a good start. I've got a question about the upper hull. Does it fit the lower Asiatam hull from rctank.de without any modification? I have two Panther G's, a Tamiya and the one I bought from Dominique at rctank.de. I was planning to change the latter to the F model by purchasing the upper and turret.

Yes the upper fits snugly onto the chassis, in fact the precise fit gives me the impression that that was the manufacturer's intention

Thank you, I'm going to check into pricing and shipping.

If you are after a quality but inexpensive Airbrush I recommend ---

And very helpful.

Thanks shaun, I've just had a look at some of them, they do look good. Did you get yours from these guys?

I have an ancient DeVillbiss Aerograph Sprite Major which for as long as I can get new seals and other spares I shall keep, so no I havn't bought an airbrush from the nice lady but I do buy other paraphernalia and the service is very high.

I worked for a coachbuilders years ago and we used Devillbiss guns. I'd love to be able to afford one

The sprockets were a pain, probably the only real problem i've had with the whole build. Had to do a fair bit of re-working with the dremil before the tracks would mesh.

Its the first time i've used the lighter shade "Resedagrun" acrylic, i think i'll be using it again.




The Tiger was painted using mainly the darker Resedagrun, i know the pictures kind of dark but it gives a completely different look
