Greetings,

Please find below the (rather poor) pics of my newly finished Revell Panther 1/72 in ambush camo. As always comments are welcome/appreciated.

Looks nice. Good job on the ambush camo and the weathering is great The scratchs on the skirts looks great. They ad a lot to it.

Looks very good. I have several small scale Panthers waiting to be built, the Revell Panther A/D, Revell Panther G, Hasegawa Steel Wheeled Panther G with PE zimmerit and the old Matchbox Panther G.

I'm happy to see another Braille scaler around.

One thing I noticed when building the PIOModels (Revell) Berge Panther is that the area under the grills is hollow. I blanked mine off with a small piece of sheet styrene painted black so you couldn't see into the bottom of the hull.

Did you use a black wash along the hull at all? All the panel lines along the engine deck look very yellow.

Thanks a lot for the praises, guys.

I did apply a burnt umber wash (mainly to simulate rust, but also to fill the crevices). However, either due to the fact that I'm using water-dilluted oils or because of incorrect wash proportions it simply refused to accumulate inside the panel lines and stained the flat surfaces instead.

Hence the sub-optimal appearance of the engine deck. I will try to address this in future projects by watching the wash consistency and/or switching to proper turpentine dilluted artists oils.

damn thats great in 1/72 scale!!
would look good 1/35!!
