Naaaaaaaaaaa ........................ curious : D
First but in sequence.
The following pictures were taken in the last few years, the lezten pictures show the present state:
would like to report back with a model or a building report again after some time.
As always, I 'm open to any tips, tricks and hints , and I will as far as possible also umsetzen.baue
Go, ver , the following kits :
and etched by EDWARD .
I will not Panther in the " conventional " Views Show:
With open hatches, where you only see parts of the interior, or a destroyed Panther with a blown off tower
the upside is located next to the tank
and no Panther gets lifted in a workshop the tower.
My Panther is shown in the " combat mission " .
From one or two sides completely and use Capable of crew members who are just about to enter .
From other perspectives as much as possible should be visible from the interior.
Of course, all is not yet of the Interior
The following items need to be built
The interior takes out any reason longer than expected.
Even though I am not a " rivet counter" you can see it in the study of a wide variety of reports, newspaper and book articles but where it is worth more and more details , nor to put one on it just in such a project .
So one thing leads to another.
In addition, then also the macro shots show the every speck of dust .
The following pictures are just control images . The individual modules only loosely put together and provided with a first coating. The work out the details still missing completely , as well as a washing and everything else.
At the time I quarrel with the execution of camouflage for the Panthers , whether multicolor paint or When and elaboration of the current basic painting.
Has for these Endscheidung and how the tank crew uniform standard look I would be very grateful for one or the other comment / note .
As it is written : " the components are loose on each other "
Here , for example, is a construction site where a lot of time has gone on it at .
and it turned out to
compiled here
and once to control "built in"
A further construction site are the wheels.
Even so some lack of details in the interior . Fittings details from the driver , various switches and levers and even closure of the canon Bock etc. .

I have in the last weeks revised the drive and mounted the drive chains:
Here are some pictures :
Here are some pictures of the current status
The drive shafts are not properly mounted on the gearbox implementation of the turret . Here I had to make Structurally a compromise.
On the driver's seat still missing various steering and gear lever . However, these are only mounted when the driver " Bonds " on his seat.
The driver carries just putting the final touches to start the engine on the orders of the commander.
Here are two more crew members .
The radio operator is to slip into his seat where he is still close its hatch on .
The Richtschüzte According neck talks to the loading gunner which at the moment is not yet placed .
When radio operator I have to rumfeilen something
It is unfortunately much slower than I hoped
here's my present day employment
A throat microphone and headphone in 1:72
Well not quite a day for 2 to 3 more hours.
Here is the materials used.
The obligatory size comparison
And here is the place where I for the whole required . On the place of the operator is also one more thing to lie , since he just goes .
the curb chain of part for this Panther worried. Was not that easy to get a set!
I also found at this time class brass shells and husks of Schatton and how the course of events is then so .
" Man" builds back , it go broken parts (drive) , which suited ago no longer fits ( spur gears , deflection , support the replacement link chains , grenade holders , etc.) and it must continue : winkÄnderungen be performed.
But we loved so a way to go .
But now some pictures:
Curb chain for PART :
Mounting pad from styrodur to accommodate the already bent center guide teeth.
The chain runs were bent and soldered on the open side , then attached each chain pad with superglue.
The the "PROFI kit " supplied Resin grenades were replaced in the meantime by brass shells of Schatton .

Here again is a detail view ( class part of the curb chain part)
First Rehearsal .
The chains got a washing as well as in the field of roller bearing a light graphite layer.
