Very nice!

I love the color-scheme and chalk markings.

How was the construction of this kit? I'm probably going to build it after I finished my Hetzer and Isu-122.
Does this kit, in addition to cast metal parts, also contain rubber band tracks? If so, how did you assemble them on the roadwheels? I've tried using superglue myself when building the Trumpeter Sturmtiger.. to no avail unfortunately.

Greetz!

Hi mate, awesome finishing !!!!

Is that the original metal hull from the F kit ? if so I'm even more impressed as there must have been a heck of a lot of grinding and filling to get the clean sides.

cheers

I would ask the same question as Brent. I have begun my kit but the metal hull is a shocker. How did you make it look so good?

Cheers and thanks

I was going to attempt something similar.....until my lower metal hull disintegrated in my hands..

Otherwise very nice. I like overall subtle but clean look of the tank, looks effective and appropriate for a late war vehicle.

Zane you done a fantastic job with a absolute stinker of a model kit .... whoever came up with the idea of a metal hull and chasis deserves a kick in the arse.

i really like the finish you gave the panther
