Man... you just gotta love the Panther D, huh? I used this exact kit John for my Coelian build a few years back and it was great. Except for the Bronco tracks (which were a nightmare) it as was a fun easy kit.
Love the streaking and the front fenders too!

Thanks Jeff !!!
It's the Beobachtungspanzer Panther, not the D version.
But I bet they use the same molds.
I didn't like the tracks but I managed...
I didn't add the tow cables and didn't scratch the star antenna, but I like how it looks so I'm leaving it like that,
and I also added the photos in the KM-Gallery.

Oh, I know it's not a Panther D but it using a D chassis for this version for the Beobachtungspanzer Panther. The only thing that stands out wrong on the kit is the fan grills, but I lived with it.
You're the man as yours is finished... and mine is stuck in gear (literally) again.

ICM Panther looks very good. Good work. I use this model for
Flakvierling Turret.

Been away for a couple of days, but it is nice to see everyone's progress.
Before taking off for the holiday, I got to chaperone the build day for my son's robotics team and got most of the Flak-panther hull built.
3 hrs of bench time in a HS physics lab with all the room to spread out is the way to build for sure!
It's the old DML kit and all it's warts, but will be a fun paint job.

Hi, lucky me I found some photo etch hidden in my stash, so I'll be adding some upgraded detail to my Jagdpanther.
Great way to start the year.
