Recently got back into the hobby after a ten year abscence. I dusted off my old panther build and decided to get your thoughts. I had a lot of fun with the camo scheme and build. I'm sure I made some historical errors. Anyways I'm looking forward to your feedback. Apolgies if the photos don't load properly, I'm a new member and this is all new to me. Thanks.

I really like your Panther very nice and I love the paint job and weathering
I am also back after a ten year hiatus hope my shot Kal turns out as good I am about to start painting my fist after ten years
Cheers and happy returns keep on building

It's nice to see a properly weathered tank. So many are rust buckets, anymore. I do look forward to seeing more of your builds, as this one is quite inspiring. I have a Tamiya G in my stash.

Nice work!
I like the weathering and some details i.e. lost parts.
Maybe I borrow some ....

Chad - Overall, a great job on 99% of the Panther. The one thing that jumps out at me are the guide teeth. While you've gone through pains to show wear on the edges of the inner wheels from the teeth, you have no corresponding wear on the teeth from rubbing on the backs of the outer wheels. From what I can see in the pics, it looks like you have done a little work on the teeth, but if the wheels are as polished as they look, it seems the teeth should be, too.

Thank you, I missed that. I totally overlooked that part of the tracks. Thanks for the feedback.

Hmm,
If those are the kind of results you get after 10 year break, perhaps I should take some time off!!!
Seriously though, great job.
