Need an opinion on this panther F.is it too much on the weathering,i just went to town to try and dirty it up a bit .Thanks in advance.is it or :-) cheers

Dude, are these the before or after pictures?

hmmm the tracks are too shiny...but the panther looks nice enough

i notice in the first picture... the last wheel of the tank is jutting out of the track...

btw, is the camouflage airbrushed or handbrushed???

I'd add a bit more drybrushing with the base color on the hull/turret and with a lightened version of whatever color you painted the wheels. The wheels, especially, lack depth.
If you're going to be displaying it on the base you have, I'd avoid adding a lot of mud and crud. DOing that in a display without the groundwork to support the muddiness, IMHO, makes a model look out of place.
I concur with Danny (above) the tracks look a bit shiny, but that could be the picture.
The second to the last roadwheel in the middle picture looks like it still has some mold parting seam and a flat spot from the sprue attachment point.

I agree. Go after those road wheels and the track.

TigerIV,

The Panther is coming along well. From the pictures, it actually doesn't look to me like it's weathered much at all. I understand this, though... when I take pictures of my models, they never look as weathered as they really are. The tracks being shiny and not much depth in the road wheels are what I notice lacking the most. If nothing else, maybe an overspray of dull coat on the tracks and a little wash and dry brush and maybe some pastels on the road wheels will improve it a lot. Also, try to fix that one road wheel so that it's on all the way. I had trouble with some road wheels doing that to be before also where they wouldn't stay pressed on when I put them on. I think that air building up inside the wheel, then being trapped by the shaft was causing the problem and pushing the wheel back off. You may just have to hold it on until it dries well or maybe file a little notch the length of the shaft to let the air escape when you push the wheel on. On a high note, the camo looks good...the little specks especially. Good job!
