Nice panther mate - and a neat little base too. Not too sure about the primer-red engine deck, but still overall a striking colour scheme.

cheers

Nice effort on this one, but the entire engine deck would not have been painted in just primer.
Maybe the cooling tower, but not the whole deck.
I see that you were in a hurry with this one,
The engine deck is not fully seated in the hull.
Also....., for a scene that depicts a destroyed building.......
you should put more chunks and piles of dirt mixed with bricks.

Nice job on the Panther, but the scenery doesn't look too good. There is a winch system just sitting there, no debrie and the back deck of the vehicle should be the same color as the overall camo pattern of the vehicle. Which Panther did you use in the scene? Good job on the tank.

I seem to agree with brent and a few others on this point too. Also German WWII replacement barrels were finished in a dark grey heat-resistant lacquer base over which the factories or field repair shops could then apply a base coat on top of that. You could easily go back and apply a semi gloss dark gray paint over the barrel to correct this if you chose otherwise a very nice build.

Please keep posting your builds as many of us out here really enjoy viewing and getting ideas and drawing inspiration from builds such as yours.
