This is one big model. Thoroughly enjoyed building the Panther out of the box. I am very pleased with how it came out. Look forward to your comments.

I like it! A nice clean build. I would like to see a pinwash to accentuate some of the details, and some more sag in the tracks but thats just me.

I have had trouble with washes making the finsh too dark. What do you use for your pinwash?

just dilute your wash more and play with the colors of your wash, experiment

Very nice model by the way,

I use oil paints mixed in mineral spirits. You dip a pointed brush in the wash and merely put it in the crack/crevice you want and let capilliary action take over, it will move the paint throughout the crack/crevice. Later using a q-tip dipped in mineral spirits wipe up the excess.
