Two awesome cats! nice job on both!

Nice pair of big cats! Did I understand you correctly; both of these sat on the shelf for a couple of years? Something doesn't quite add up...I thought once a kit was placed on a shelf for a year or so it actually melded into the surface of the shelf, never to be set free again! Share your secret with us oh Wise Modeler!

Nice color modulation on the second one! Also, good job on the bare metal on the inner wheel rims. All too often that detail is omitted in Panther builds... Terrific weathering as well. The chipping looks very realistic.

Thanks for all of the positive feedback fellas. I use tamiya paints thinned with enamel thinner, mig/ammo filters and washes, and av vallejo pigments.

I am on the fence with this one as to what to do with them. I could put them back on the shelf to collect dust or put them up on ebay to raise more money to buy more tanks to add to my stash. decisions decisions!!!!!!!!!!
