Wow, looks great, Mike. What kit is this?

Good luck with all the loops - hope you keep your sanity

Looking forward to see more

The kit is the old DML/Shanghai dragon ( ex Gunze molds) panther base kit with s Real Models flak turret. 47 loops is a bit of hyperbole. It's only 12 foliage loops, three grab handles, and three lifting loops.

wow, there are some really impressive builds on here! I know its not an official entry into the campaign, but my kitty turned out a little "different" https://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/IMG_0031_sm.jpg

My 4..actually I did 5. I upload some build pix.The Panther II with fictional 88mm has metal tracks, so it will be awhile to finish. 4 Dragon kits & 1 Cyberhobby kit. This is my 3rd Panther II kit lol.

My 5th, Panther F. All still need tool & detail painting / weathering/ decals etc..

Another shot of Cyberhobby kit.

PS- I built 6 Sherman's this winter

Mike, the Real models conversion is new to me, but looks cool.

Joe, is that a marsian desert camouflage?

David, that is an entire kitty zoo! You got the Panther bug for sure! Looking really cool!

I have now finished my build for this campaign. It has been a long time underway with a lot of projects in between. However, I am pretty satisfied with the final result. A late Summer '45 panzer.

Hello,
Great Panther gentlemen, a good job, I also soon I finish mine.

This will be my entry for the campaign



It's a Tamiya 1/48 Panther G with the diecast lower hull. Hope to finish it before the deadline.

Cheers

Thanks, Pawel. Looking forward to see your build.


Nice choice, Raj. Hope you make the deadline.

Dear All,

This is really a great campaign. A lot of great built !

This is my entry for the campaign:




It's a vintage (historical ) Tamiya 1/35 Panther Ausf.G Late version. I have this kit in my stash from about 20 years ( )

Now it is the right time to start. This is just after few hours night-time work:

Giovanni

Hello again, fellow Panther enthusiasts,

Fantastic work so far...I love checking out everyone else's progress...it motivates me and keeps me going.

Another quick update before I seal up my JagdPanther for good (well, hopefully I remember everything and will not need to open it up again). Just about finished with the interior, just a couple more touch-ups to go then on to the outside and more PE work. Interior is painted in Vallejo Model Air "Aged White" while the floors are Vallejo Primer RAL 8012. An oil wash was added and then some paint chipping on top of that. The rounds are AFV Club painted with Alcad II brass. All the parts are held in with either CA glue or Gator Grip acrylic glue where I did not want to strip paint to make a bond...and the bond did not have to be particularly strong. I find acrylic glue is good for these sorts of applications. PE parts are kept together by soldering.

Hello all,

It's been a while since I last posted WIP pictures of my Jadgpanther so, here's to catching up.
I first primed it with Vallejo Black


And then, tried to initiate the Black and White technique. Here are the results





And finally, a shot with the road wheels dry fitted


I airbrushed it with AK Interactive's German Dunkelgelb Modulation Set.





I have since airbrushed this with Vallejo's Gloss Varnish in preparation for applying decals and chipping. I will also start working on the tracks. I will post some more pictures of the WIP. Hopefully, I can finish this model in time.

Thanks,

Joseph

My JP is in progress.

Hi all,
Its some pics of progress my Panther G.

Hi guys
I havent been around for a while but I didnt stop working on my Panther A with homemade Zimm





Need to do some more work with the weathering but Im making progress and should finish on time

Update on my build.

I managed to complete most of the assembly and the painting. Have to paint the rubber on the roadwheels and then assemble and paint the tracks. Was trying to do the ambush scheme, but my limited airbrush skills prevented me from getting the exact scheme I wanted so I finished it as an "artist's impression" scheme



Assembly 80% completed



Painting in progress



Artist's Impression

I would welcome any comments & suggestions on how to do a better job in the future.

Cheers

Hi all,

As much as I hate to do this I will be removing myself from the campaign. between real life interuptions and overall aggrevation with the kit (and my lack of skill) it has become too much and I will not be able to finish by the deadline.

My hats off to all the great buildrs participating in the campaign, your Panther's look great. Good luck.

Hi Guys,
I can finally resume work on my Panther A early.I hope to complete it soon
Here are some photos of my progress:














the red arrow above shows the housing of the smoke grenade launcher closed with plasticard it was not installed on early 'A' model.


Masterclub track links a nightmare!

Comments and advice are welcome.

Wow! A lot of great builds towards to end of this camaign. Looks great, guys!

Looking forward to see them all finsihed by the deadline.

Hi

I'm calling this done, will post in the gallery later

Hi Antonio,




I have the same in my stash, waiting. Noted the mistake of the launcher on the turret.
Fully agree about masterclub track links. You will go ahead with them or change with something else ?

Saluti

Giovanni

Hi Robert,




I like your JP, very nice build and paint.

Only the chain on the bow looks a bit strange for me. Do you have some reference for this ? For my curiosity...

Cheers

Giovanni

Hi Giovanni,
I just finished assembling all. Yes,I am going to use them.

Hi Giovanni

I've seen it on other models and I liked the look, for instance

I've haven't seen it on any period photos yet.

Hello everyone...here with another update to my JagdPanther build:

I finally sealed-up the hull. I could have gone on and on with dry fitting and getting it absolutely perfect but when you combine aftermarket resin and PE with a kit like this there is no "perfect", only close. However, it is coming along better than I thought it would and I am satisfied enough to press on.

One of the major issues is attaching the upper hull and having it pressing against the ammo racks. The racks have a tendency to pop off and you have to go back in and re-glue the racks back in their position.

So far, 71 hours invested in this one with 20 days to go in the campaign. I am going to attempt to make the deadline but will not sacrifice quality for the sake of speed. If I forgo the ribbon so be it. But, I will still post pics of the completed build no matter what. Fingers-crossed - no distractions for the next 3 weeks
