hello dear friends,
at last I decided to upload some photos of my last work, and hear your comments.
I builded German WWII famous tank Panther G late production.
kit is from my favorite Tamiya, in 1/48 scale as well my favorite.
I decided to build from box but I'll add some extra accesory and figure.
tank painted with Tamiya acrylic paints and I made some weathering useing by Mig prigments and AK's greatests effects.
so now I present you my model, it's not finally pictures because model miss some parts but I just need to know what you think about model and soon I will add finally photos.





thanks and waiting for your comments...

That looks really nice. I'll be interested to see the finale. I do notice that you seem to have some silvering with your decals. Did you apply a gloss coat before the transfers and after?

Nice work, Welcome to 1/48. Agree with Matt on the Decals. also I feel your tracks need some rust or earth ( light ) i feel black with a silver Db looks quite artificial on its own!

Good evening and thank you for your comments...
I agree about decals, I used Humbrol's Decalfixer but it's not helps, maybe I made something wrong

Well there are a final images: I added a tow rope, a box of ammunition and two backpacks (empty Cartridge) ...












So what can I add, just waiting for your comments ...

Thank you

If you have patience and a steady hand, I would paint the rubber tires on the road wheels.

You could paint the tools, wood block, etc on the sides but these were just sprayed over sometimes too.

Richard -
Nice work on the Panther. I was pleased to see that Greg only needed to (ever so gently) twist your arm to get you into the next 1/48 campaign. For some ideas of what to build, how some of the models look when completed, etc. I would look at the first 1/48 campaign gallery. That should give you some ideas for your campaign project. Continue the good work!

Cheers,
Stephen (Minas-Ithil)
