Hi all.
This is the Dragon Panther ausf. G with zimmerit. A realllly nice kit. I've used tracks from Bronco, a turned metal barrel and PE from Aber + ekstras from the spare box.
Please do comment.

Excellent job! I like the scratch and chipping work you did. The tone of the weathering is even and well done, believable. I'm impressed

Thank you all for the nice words.
Biggles: You're right about the Friul tracks, and that,s why Dragon should have MagicTracks in ALL their kits, and not only those DS tracks, when it's a zimm'ed vehicles. Are you listning Dragon!!!

Love it! Perfect weathering. The figures look the part, with the engine hatch open. Tracks are outstanding! Just can't say enough good things about this one.

@Hederstierna – Jacob,

Terrific job! Excellent all the way around, my favorite part of your build is the camouflage pattern. The crewmembers really add a sense of action and life. The only thing I don’t like about this build is that its not mine . . .

Jacob: Very nicely done. As other's have said, the weathering and chipping is spot on and not overdone. Love it.

Happy Modeling, -zon
