hi all,

This is my first post here on this site.This is my latest build,a conversion of the older Dragon Panther ausf A kit.This model depicts a BefehlsPanther A somewhere in Italy.
I used some Aber PE for the intake screens and tool clasps,the rest is pretty much scratchbuilt.







All comments are welcome.

No pics to look at.

Rob,
I think the gallery that your photos are in is 'closed' to public viewing. At least that's the basic message I get when I try to view the photo URL's

Cheers,
Charles

Jeff and Charles are both of you signed in ? Icould'nt view them either until i signed In. The pictures are really good

Rob

looks very good, and here are your pics.

I am always signed in at Armorama not kit maker.

Great job looks to be the Best Panther I have seen in awhile.

Hi Rob
That's a really nice panther! Looks great with the red primer under the zimmerit, I have to try for myself. Keep on the good work.
Best regards
Jacob

Thank you for the pics Darren.
Thank you for the positive comments guys.I had to take a break from modelling(over a year)and it's good to get back into it again.

Rob

Looks great I'm getting a BefehlsPanther Aust D together. What arial set did u use? ANY PICS OF AN AUST D PLEASE MAIL ME would be a great help, one rare beast. Cheers Geraint

hello rob
really good looking panther you'v got yourself there i like the zimmerit, it looks scratchbuilt and if so how ?
neil........

Thanks guys,
The arial is scratchbuilt using copper wire,next time i'll use brass rods instead of the copper.The zimmerit was made using squadron white putty.You have to work fast and in small sections with this stuff.Next time i'll try a differant putty.

Rob

very nice. Makes me want to stand up and sign the panzerlied.

I think you've managed to hit the right balance between unusable spare tracks, and nicely weathered ones! Some that I've seen are just horrible, like they've never received any protective coating or treatment at all!

havent seen anything like that. simply amazing. Only complaint is that the pics show off your amazing details, but doesnt show the tank as a whole.

Looking good.

Cheers,
Charles

Awesome Build !!! milvehfan

Rob-- wow! Great work, how did you achieve the wood effect as shown on the side mounted tool box?
thanks

Thanks DJ,

The wood jack block was painted brown ,washed and drybrushed,then a pinpiont wash with oils.Not much to it.Hope this helps.

Rob

Rob,

I don't know that much about Panthers YET! But your build sure looks realistic. Super job! Excellent camo and weathering. Here's hoping you could possibly post a couple of pics with an overall view of your Panther.

I can just say one thing. It's a winner job, outstanding weathering!!
