My second model after long gap.

Its Panther from Balaton, Hungary, 1945.
I have decreased thikness of board screens and its holders. Also added clear plastic parts into all periscopes and photoetch for engine vents.

Model manufacturer - DML.



Waiting for feedback! )))

Difficult to tell from the angle of the picture, but from what I can see it looks very good.

Really like the way you've handled the camo, looks very convincing. Did you shrink yourself to 1 35th and spray that Panther. Looking forward to seeing the finished thing

It is done! Sure, I could add more weathering but I`m a bit scared to ruin model, so complete weathering is for the next one

I know the feeling. Don't worry, you can always go back, and weather it later.
(By the time the fright would go away anyway, as the next one will be "the" one, and you won't be as reluctant to touch up on an "old one"...)

Great work
