Hello Karl,
Wonderful Job! I love the ambush scheme, I do believe that you have that spot on. Look forward to the upcoming pictures as I do believe you have quite a winner there. Congratulations!!!
Best Wishes,
Walter
P.S. I had a nearly similar disaster a few days before a show with my Tamiya Panther G last year. Had to redo the entire front glacis plate. Must be something to do with Panthers, you think??

Please make sure no Oven Cleaner reaches that model! The camo is absolutely great! I still have to practice a lot to achieve that myself What's the secret here....low air pressure? lot of thinner used?

Hi~
I like because it is more quiet!
More paint jobs are LOUD!
One would want to stay hidden rather
than stick out!

Karl,
Woo wee. That's one good looking paint job. I'm really anticipating seeing the finished product. Wishing you the very best as you complete your build.

Greetings karl!
I agree with others that you've made one hell of a paintjob on your panther there
Cheers and happy modeling!

That looks really good. I must have missed the first thread. Can someone point me toward the original?

I missed the problem you had, but what ever happened, you got a nice looking Panther. Are you going to set it in a dio?
