"Quite similar"???
I'd say the exact model to be precise. While it's always nice to see pictures of nice models, why don't we stop playing games and say WHO is the BUILDER and WHO is the OWNER of this model.
Jeff Li: you specifically omit saying that you built this model but without saying you didn't do it, you invite comments and congratulations as if you were both builder and photogrpher.
As I look at your previous posts, you've also displayed a Sherman III, a 10cm Kanone 18 & Lanz Bulldog tractor, a 1/48 Crusader, a Willys Jeep & water trailer, and a host of others.
People post "well done" comments yet you never reply? Why is that? Did you build them or not?
I see your recent Panther D model and it frankly looks very different than many of your other posts. Perhaps this one IS from your hand? But now, who is to know?
Frankly, I find this all rather disingenuous, no? The photos have a chinese website listing at the bottom. John Chen's source of photos seems to be from the same source as yours. Is he mistaken? Is his friend not telling the truth? What is actual the source of the models posted? Please correct my suspicions and I will readily apologize.

Hey Jeff a really nicely finished kit there .
How did you apply the white wash? Did you use a sponge to show signs of wear?
Actually Roy, IIRC the 4AD 8thTB had a meticulously applied winter camouflage scheme which unfortunately flaked in the exact same manner in the exact same places?

John: I'm not trying to put you in an uncomfortable position. It's just that this poster has listed this vehicle and many others that are being sold by a Chinese based ebay seller.
If he's the builder of the kit then there's no problem. If he is an employee of the finished model company, I think it would only be honest to state as such. Also, if he is the owner of the model and not the builder, he should state that too. I feel that posting dozens of nicely finished models but never saying that he did or didn't build them while accepting lots of praise is disingenuous.
Frankly it IS VERY NICE WORK. However, should the original poster receive the praise or not? If he's just some company shill, then he should state so in order that the real modellers receive praise. If he's the owner (I kinda doubt this) then he should state so as well.
Here's the ebay seller. Note the sheer volume of listed models. Many have been posted by Jeff on armorama (again, without saying whether he built them or not -- mysteriously silent)

Gotta agree with you Roy, the way it's worded it almost feels like an add. I mean its amazing, the finish is very well done, but yeah, I would hope its not just someone pushing a product. Thats what TV is for.
