Hi all
This is actually a kit bash. The hull is from Dragons Panther ausf. G, and the turret is from the old "Coelian" Panther from Dragon, with metal barrels from JBModels.
Please do comment.

Well done all around, it's hard to pull of primer red convincingly but you nailed it.

@Hederstierna – Jacob,
Brilliant job! I see you have been doing your homework on this project. And a very creative kit bashing idea, now you have the best of both worlds all very well detailed. Cleaver late war camouflage scheme on the chassis and convincing rendition on the German red oxide primer covering the . . . conceptual first production turret?

Hej Jacob!
Excellent work! I'll say it too, I just love major compnents in red oxide primer done right (where appropriate or at least probable) and this one is definitely well done!
I like the Coelian a lot, hope I'll be able to get one in my hands some time sooner rather than later...

Looks great, like the choice of solid stripe camouflage.

Very nicely done. the Red Oxide turret is rather unusual for a finished modeling project, and makes your effort really stand out.

The primer effect makes it stand out as the fading and weathering. Fantastic example of a late war machine.
