It seems this Panther served at Karachev July/August 1943, and was part of the 51st Panzer Battalion,which attached to the Panzer Grenadier Division "Grosdeutschland".
Looking forward for your comments guy's

HGi,
Looks good, real good, esp. the mild weathering effects. Rust on the bullet holes is a nice touch. I like the shading effect. At first I thought that you had painted the tank a green color, but now I think that this is just a heavy over-shadowing of the green on the dark yellow base. is this right? I like how it turned out. Sort of different from the usual.

Take care, Sgirty

Nice looking Panther you did Eric, I really like the weathering. The only two things that stood out to me were
1. Fill the small gap along the front plate where the two halfs meet
2. paint the vision blocks.
Job well done.

Eric,

I'm in agreement with Brian....front plate gap (easy fix) and the optics (again, easy). An addition....the third pic down (front view looking down the barrel). It looks like it's plugged...you can see where the barrel is solid. Quick fix: paint it black, or better yet, drill it out some. A drill, with the correct diameter bit (on SLOW speed) will open it up nicely. Funny, always been one of my nitpicks: barrels (be they machine gun or main gun) not "opened"). Other than that, dirty up the decals some and "she" looks like one that has been through some action!

Merely my penny's worth.

Overall very nice work, very nice indeed. Just a few details, that would make this beauty even better. The decals looks very clean and shiny. The tracks look black, perhaps a little rust and a little more silver on the raised areas. Just my two cent's.
Besides that very nice paintjob and weathering.

I'd repaint the muzzle break, and then re-do the black. To me it extends too far back on the tube and its too black. I little more subtle I guess is what I'm saying. Same thing for the Coax MG port.. Maybe use a little black pastel here as airbrushing into that tight space is trying at best.. Already mentioned, the decals look nice and bright while the rest of the tank is pretty dirty. Add a couple of different color washes to your exhausts to vary the monochrome rust. End of the gun tube already mentioned as was the gap at the front of the hull plates and the optics. Nothing major and they're pretty easy fixes. At least youhave something finished. I still have several that are "almost there". Good job. "Q"

What color is that base coat?
I just got a Panther F and am thinking of a color scheme.
I've read this version, due to it's late production. saw little, if any, action. I'll be looking for a very basic scheme, factory scheme. (Unless I get a little more adventurous between here and there).
I like yours alot. Might add a "Braun" disruptive pattern. Thanks for the help.

Nicely done! One suggestion tho, it could use some dryrushing to ring out the details a bit more. Nice clean build!

A solid build, The mantlet is confusing, as this is clearly a D model but the binocular gunner sight holes have the "eyebrow" which is incorrect for the D model.
As previously mentioned, the hull fit up detracts from an otherwise nicely finished project.

Behides the gap in the front hull, on the 2nd pic the german cross could use a little weathering so that in blends in better
