Hi fellow Armorama-ers,

Here are some more in progress pics for the DML Jagdpanther with the Aber PE that I been working on. Spent some time tonight with it, and this is a night's work. WIth the beck deck basicly done. And did some detail work on the roof

The back deck

A little work on the roof



Any comments will be highly appreciated.... Thanks.

nice details on your tank dave !!

Great work.. Makes me want to get moving on mine! I just started it.. have the Aber Etch set too.. this will be my first time working with Aber.. It looks like there is a lot of detail in that set!

That's some fine usage of a PE kit. I remember doing all that work and then covering it all up with a slew of figures on a diorama

Lookin' good Bro Dave

VERY NICE WORK SS-74, CONGRATULATIONS
ROBERTO

Yo Davey Boy..... Looking good dude.

That's nice detail and it looks to me (no expert mind you) like you've done it pretty well. Almost a shame to paint it

Keep it up, and let us see the next installment.

All I can say is that I am filled with Shock And Awe from this

Well done. Very neat detailing!!! Everytime I see a Jagdpanther I go back to my first model tah was a Tamiya 1/16 Jagdpanther back in early 70s and the will to build another one comes up very strong...
Hope to see the rest soon.

Guys, thank you for your kind words., Did some more work on this baby tonight, here are the latest batch of the in progress pictures.

The top roof is finished on this one, I need to scratch 2 periscope guard, because I like to use the Aber periscope, and the kit one got the guard with half of the periscope moulded on. I scratched one with plasticard, and another with frame of Aber PE pieces.

The Roof



The back of the compartment is also done, need to add antenna and some tools.



Close shots of scratched periscope guard and Aber Periscope, it added a lot to the model instead of using the molded on periscope.

Nice,but I still haven't the patience that Aber requires.I suppose you WILL add a drop of white glue/microcyrstal clear inside of those periscope heads once all painting/weathering is complete? Right?

Dave it looks good. keep it up man
stug

You've done a great job on the details, Dave... Can't wait to see it finished !!!

Looking good buddy, keep up the good work!

As usual Dave, excellent workmanship. As shown on the pics, your pe skills are very clean and precise. This is a good looking work in progress build.

Only problem is, you should be doing more U.S stuff . Just kidding Dave.

Great work, thanks for the pics, and looking forward to the completed Jag.

Excellent work on 2 fronts Dave....first the PE and also the photography....very good close up shots. :-)

:-) This is very good, Dave. You seem to have slackened off, I would have expected you to have painted it by now
Looking forward to seeing this painted :-)
Mal

Thank you guys for the advise and comments.

Sherman I am using the Ricoh RR30 camera, which can macro up to 1 cm, it's real amazing.

BBW2, I know I have been slackened off, it's only because Ms. Arwen is having her ya know elfish time of inconvenience, so she ain't that helpful, and them damn Fluvian Slaves ain't working too hard neither....need to whip them a bit....

#:-)

I cm good God miss molly!! How many megapixel? Looking to get another camera.
By the way nice job again Pig number 2. aka Fluvian alien!!

Ps on those periscopes I tried something on the tiger took a little smoke from tamiya and mixed it with a little micro crystal clear and put it in the little window area looks kind of nice cause I painted the scope first in tank color might want to try that or use the green one clear if green is what you want.

Oh a drop of micro gloss will seal it afterwards
