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!

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?
