I build still one Panther Ausf.G w/Rheinmetall Schmal-turm.
I used one old model from Tamiya and turret from my produce.







Where can I get one of those at?

NICE turret!

Here are some photos of my progress on my Jagd.Panther. Which is the re-pop of Gunze's representation. I added some mesh screens, exhaust ports, lugs to secure tow cables,spare photo etch to hull sides. Tried to use the supplied barrel, since it was to elliptical scrounged around for a replacement metal one. Looks much better. Going to add some weld beads for some added texture and actualization. ( hope that is a word)

My first post was my pre build photo on Dec 01, 2012. I've finally got started on the little cat. I've primed and painted. Now onto the build. I'll keep you posted.
Cheers,

Primer on tonight. The Aber aerial and mesh screens worked well. Now to decide on a camo scheme from the great Echelon set.

Nice to see this campaign progressing with nice builds.
Revor, your Jagdpanther looks rl nice. Only one question if i may. Is that scratch below the gun manlet inentional, to be some kind of battle damage? If not you can easily cover it wit a camo net.
Jon, your Tiger looks rl nice. a very nice build, what do you intend to do for the camo?
Rodolfo, your tiger looks rl good. Waiting to see more...

@Rodolfo - Primer was tamiya surface primer rattlecan. Used it really because it was on my desk and I was just too lazy to set up my airbrush, and I always get good results from it.
@John - Camo will be all yellow Carius

Well the the base colours are on in a semi modulation style.

I adore your colour modulation. I am slowly getting into doing such things. What colour should I use to lighten the base colour with. White sounds wrong, what do you suggest? Base colour dunkelgleb.

Well I’m finally back to working on my Taurus and have completed the build process. I’ve decide to actually build it as a rent a tank version. I’ve removed the storage box off the boom and will be build a different and smaller storage box on the rear hull. Beyond that I’m really to slap some paint on this puppy. The figures are from callsign models.

Hi Trevor,
I used the AK Interactive Dunkel Gelb Modulation Set for my build. I find the AK colour sets great, and the paint seems to go a long way with great coverage so it is a cost effective solution.

I guess I am late to the party but I brought chips! I have a leopard 2 that I was building for the Cold War campaign but have been able to start another kit for that and would like to offer up the leopard here. It was a previously unstated kit, has been started after the start date and I have photos. Is it ok to join the party? Cheers.

Hi Van,
Very nice work on the Wildcat. May I suggest about a square foot of Marston matting with a few weeds growing through it as a suitable base?

Cheers

@Rodolfo

Great work on that Tiger !
I like that painting scheme, too bad about the decal setting solution.
you can correct it with some chipping on those areas.

@christopher
Nice... you're doing a 3 tone Nato scheme ?

@Van

Great !
Don't forget to post a photo on the gallery.

Great job everyone !!!!!

These BigCats Campaigns cover so many subjects, some great builds so far !
I'm hoping for a Mk.III next year
