Hi guys,

This is the 1/72 DML Panther G (with zimmerit). Neat little kit to build though I had a little trouble with the fit of the mantlet. This is also my first attempt with oil wash.

Hope you guys like what you see.









Now to continue on my Panther-mania by finishing up my Ausf D!

This looks nice ! I think you managed well the camo scheme.
May be you like your builds this way (clean) but I think a bit of pigments would help to make it look even more real. Fine chipping also adds more detail in your paintwork.
But it turned out well and it's a beauty in the display case I'm sure ! Greetings G.

Nice clean build!
Good to see fellow braille scalers here from singapore...

The oil wash isn't really visible (except for the road wheels - which look fine), you could probably go bolder next time.

where'd you get the base?

i like it a neat little, build , as sonny stated i would put on a bolder wash, it seems to be the smaller the scale the more emphasis in the wash is needed. but this doesn't detract from a very good model , good kit good build good work.

Certainly looks a great build.

I agree about the oil wash comments, as a slightly darker wash would look better.

cheers

Hi guys

Thanks for the advice, I'll try a darker wash with my other builds.

Sonny: The base is a lid I took from a big supplement container.
