I just wanted to comment, that it's always nice to see that someone can take a cheap kit and with a little TLC and PE you can make it look every bit as good as the 40-50 dollar kits. For me, it provides hope that all those cheapie charlies I've amassed were still worth it. Your Panther was beautiful.

Thanks Chief

Thanks Steve! The Jagdpanther in my gallery was an Italeri kit too. I am happy that these two turned out so well. They were the first German armored vehicles I have built in 22 years. Cheers!

Very nice Job!!!!!!! You really made a silk purse out of a sows ear! They both look great.

P.S. I love the base for the Jagdpanther! Very creative.

Dang Lauren, that did come out nice! I really like that netting and yes, the base is fantastic, it really stands out and yet at the same time pulls everything together.

way to go!
