hello again men
heres a few pictures of my latest build DML'S panther G smart kit (6268)
firstly the pictures are 800x600 (i hope so no red X's).
the instuctions are a pain in the backside so there may be a few mistakes as to what is or isn't in the right place.the tracks are friul's ATL-08 and the towing cable is karaya but apart from that it's pretty much out of the box.
the decals are from bison and are meant to depict a vehicle from panzer regiment 31,5 pz.div east prussia 1944 but don't qoute me on that one !! the three tone camo was applied by airbrush the first layer is revell aqua color reddish brown (37) then came vallejo model air dark green and lastley vallejo model air sand yellow.the exhausts have come out looking very red/pink in the pictures honestley they are not that bad looking from where i'm sitting !!!!!!!!!!!!
i hope you enjoy the pictures and if you would like to make a comment good or bad then fire away...
merry christmas to you all
neil........

Neil,
nice work like always. And I repeat I would love to finish kits with the speed&quality you do it!! Maybe you could just think about changing something about the pics. They're very good but changing one or two things would make colours looking better. I think changing the background colour, settings of your camera would give some good results. You take your pictures with daylight or lamps? If you want you can PM me si we can have small talk about it.

I really like your style of builduing.

Hi Neil a truly outstanding Panther the finish is excellant , i'm having a stab at the same kit myself although mine is nowhere near finished in fact i'm still building it into sub- assemblies hopefully with time and patience my Panther should look acceptable

Neal, always nice to see fine work like this. Your posting 800 x 600 pictures greatly reduced load time. It took only 3 to 4 minutes for all your pictures to load, and no red x boxes. Appreciate your work and 800 x 600 picture posting
