These are some images from a Panther G that I am building. I used the Shanghai Dragon Night Fighting Version without the I/R stuff. As you can see in the pic's (if they come through like they are supposed to, always a BIG if with me!) I have used embossing foil for the gun cleaning tubes as well as the front mud flaps and a few other odds and ends. The bottom hull and tracks have already been assembled and painted, awaiting the weathering stages. I have a number of panzer grenadiers that will people the rear deck and turret area when done. Let me know if any one has any constructive criticism.

Thats a great start on that Panther.. I think you need to add the [/img] @ the end of your images though.. But you can copy and paste if you want to see the pics. :-)

I see it, I like it.
I like your track colors (to start) they will look like the real color, dirty red/brown with some weathering.
I love the Panther G and you have continued it's legacy, I am teary
Nice,
Andrew

Thanks to Pig # 28 for fixing my picture problem. No real set of PE used, just bits and pieces from left over sets, etc. The screens were an extra set I had from Eduard. Thanks for the comments, back to the sty to wallow in the plastic awhile.

I agree with Oberst on the track color--looks great. Can you please describe the paint or paints you used to achieve this look?
Thanks

Thanks for the offer on the Moskit exhausts, I will contact you with a personal note. As far as the tracks go, they were sprayed with a chalkboard finish flat black and then oversprayed with Humbrol track color. Ithen used a heavy wash of Vallejo leather brown.
