Another nice build so far.
What do you think of the moulded in zimm? I have the KingTiger, Porsche turret with the moulded zimm and it looks excellent.

Hi
Fit is not too bad, minor gaps each side of the glasis and rear panel. Care is needed with the mantlet/barrel fit.
Zim looks OK, but I'll reserve judgement til I've painted it!

Looks good, these new Dragon kits are perfectly detailed even if built as OOB.
However, check the wheels on the right side

That is a very good looking Panther. And a very clean build. Dragon really gives you value for the $. The molded on zim saves lots of time, looks very good and the PE they include would cost $10 after market. Although I'm not a big fan of their tracks I have to admit that they look very nice and I know they go on easy and hold paint. What a great build of a great kit. Thanks for sharing.
