Looks good, did you use the floor polish as a sealer before the Matte Varnish was applied? Seems like a good bit of work has been done,tools look to be painted and detail like the cleaning rod container and tow cables.

Keep the pictures coming, I'm sure many will enjoy your build.

Hi

Like it Mate, especially the detail on the tools and wire.
Did you make the ear phones on the figure.

Hi, I just made the side Schurzen on my Jagdpanther, the size and spacing I followed from Picture in the reference section, also from the Tamiya instructions for the Jagdpanther, the tamiya does not have the Schurzen but does have the brackets which demonstrate the mounting as the panels overlap at these points. I chose to glue in plastic strips at the joints behind the panels.

Also the sizes are different, but once you know the mounting you can figure the size, or if need be I will measure mine. cheers Sax

I forgot in the picture my panels are to far back, if you look at the Panthers in the reference section the first panel begins at the center of the front drive sprocket, but you can see the panel joints. My panels are not perfect Schurzen but does convey the right look. Hope this helps, Sax

In the painting and weathering section floor polish is demonstrated, check out this post. This is part of the sub-forum under Tips and Tricks.

This is a good link for the Panther and Jagdpanther, http://www.panther1944.de/en.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This site has free downloads of the tank manuals Tamiya, Heng Long, and mato. The panther and Jagdpanther instructions will detail the side SCHURZEN mounting positions.
