Tamiya Panther G

Post by tomhugill »

I've been missing a panther since my early G went over to America afew years ago.

I was offered this nicely detailed shelf queen with a neat but basic paint job. Gary farrow was kind enough to give it an upgrade with some modulation, wear and tear.

I'll probably add a battle system and my swap out the tamiya electrics for a clark at some point but for now I'll enjoy it as it is.

Nice, but missing the pie slices for the raised heater. ;)

Well done build. Lots of small details really make the model. And really nice work on the streaking. Personally I would sell the DMD and buy an updated board. But thats just me :)

Beautiful Panther (both of them, actually). I've always loved the G model. For some reason it just looks so right. I've always liked the shape of the mantlet with the little "chin" on the bottom and the huge exhaust at the back. The paint job and weathering are very clean. Not too much, just about right IMHO.

I'd be very happy to have it emigrate to the States like your other one (specifically my house)!

Cheers,
Eric.
