Hi Guys,

3 weeks of sleepless nights, Jagdpanther finally finished, bed, here I come!!!! And again, I like to thank you all for your kind words. And also use this chance to thank my good buddy Obe for teaching me the chip painting method, not as good as on his panther 411, but not bad result.

Excellent Work Dave, you have done me proud :-)
Nice work on the tracks as well.
Are you going to add any mud to the lower hull or just leave it as is?
Again Dave, Excellent Work,

Andrew

A beautiful job, Dave. I love the scratches along the side, very good looking. And, that PE really came out well. I don't know how you work with that small stuff - drives me crazy. An excellent camo job as well. What airbrush do you use, Dave?

Looks great SS, I especially like the scratches and the fender job you did. Also, what did you use for the chains on the spare track bracket? They look more realistic than mine.

Good stuff Dave! You've done a great job. I like the camo and the scratch effects. I only hope that I can finish my Panther and make it look nearly as good.

So what's your next AFV?

Guys, thank you for your kind words.

Lord MJ,

I am using a Universal 360 AB for this, it's a good AB

Lord Soccia and Fritz, I amusing the Aber chains comes with the sheet for the spare tack holder's chains. They are 2D, so you need to twist them around a bit to recreat 3D effect.

For the scratch I used Obe Way, using a stretched sprue, dip it into paint, then just dab them randomly on the model.

A thing of beauty is a wonder to behold.

How did you shrink that JP down to 1/35th? #:-) Looks very realistic. Nice Job.
How did you do the scratches?

Excellent! WOW!

That turned out great! I was a bit hesitant of the parallel camo scheme. Just wasn't my cup of tea. But man you really made this kit shine It turned out great.

Davidus,

Finally I got a chance to give you my comments: Excellent Work!
I like the scratch marks you did on the body. Good painting job for the camo thing.
Keep it up man!
