This is my Tamiya Panther G I finished recently:

I'm aware that the rear left hull seems to be crooked which I will fix later, otherwise comments and critique is welcomed!



Here's also additional picture and a video:

Looks good, I like the mud.

A couple of dark washes would bring out the details. I use thinned acrylic black and dark brown.

Nice to see another quarter-scaler here!

UncaBret I was always told never use black for a wash.

Nice painting and weathering, but would agree with Bret about adding some washes.

I agree, a wash would do nicely. Along with fixing the front gap. However, it looks like you have tackled the hard part. Keep it up!

It could use some washes, but never use black for a wash.

Thanks for the responses! Well then, I guess it's really not complete! I'm pretty disappointed that I rushed the completion of the project. This kit was the first for many things, such as my first attempt at camo, my first Axis subject, and also working with lighter colors. While I did use washes I was concerned about using darker colors. I'll add some pin washes, dirty it up a bit and see what I can do about the seam line!

Hi Terry just thought i'd let you know that i too am building the Panther G OOB but i'm also making some minor mods like replacing some of the moulded on grab handles with copper wire my tank is almost finished but i'm waiting to get some PE grilles and i'm debating on whether or not to use the kit side skirts or get some aftermarket ones as an article i read on the build up said the one piece kit ones are in accurate as the ones used on the actual tank interlaped
