Hi all, thought it was time to show my Panther now it's finished. I wasn't going to do a build thread just in case i got it a bit wrong, the only big thing i've done is replaced the radio gear from an old HL Tiger so now i have sound. Found some mesh for a 1/35 scale fence and did the engine grills but ran out on the last one, so i left that missing. I impressed myself with the milliput welding and built up the brackets for the tracks. After reading the forum about the aerial on HL tanks i did the coiled up wire inside mod. Thats about it but i don't think it'll ever be finished, no doubt i'll add things as i go. Hope you like it.

Have fun, John

:] Great job John, looks the biz.

nice looking panther great job

Nice job,

nice job with the panther

Excellent paintwork,like the weld seam detailing and the spare track brackets. The command figure is well done, over all a really nice Panther.

Cracking colours, very inspiring.
Might try a Panther next.

Thanks all for the great comments guys, i enjoyed the re-build on this. I forgot to mention the red oxide primer is just that, but when i did the camo it looked too "red". It wasn't until the weathering was done that all became one, a lot of first's on this Panther too. I mixed up some Johnson Klear with one drop of Vallejo German Dark Green and one drop of Vallejo Black and it made up a nice substitute for the Mig Rainmarks. The weld seam was a first too, i've tried and tried again on 1/35 scale but this was better as i could see what i was doing lol. The HL commander that i got was rubbish, i use Dragon's Joachim Peiper i built some time ago.

Thanks again, John

Nice Panther you have there John

Congratulations also from me.
If I may the only thing I am not convinced that the grates are back to the air, that I have mounted this way:



However, each model is free to see their model as he pleases.
Compliments, because I like it anyway.
