Nice job Ayhan.
cammo is outstanding,was it free hand or masked?
The wheels and tracks look great,only one tiny nitpick,
the inner road wheels..the rims were usually shiny due to rubbing against the guide horns of the tracks
well done mate, great looking cat

Hello - thats a great looking Panther!
I'll second what Andy says, the inner road wheels get suprisingly shinney from the tracks, some great shots in the Squadron Panther book, even in black and white you can see the effect on the wheels!
What colours/brand of paints did you use? Ive got a panther awaiting the 'build' so Im quite curious to which ones you have used,

Ayhan, really cool! Gotta love those ambush schemes. Like the colours, very bright, looks great. Just finishing up my "G" as well.
Nice work!

Very nice Panther sir!!
NIce overall shades and effects. Nice details. Very good. I wish I can make that kind of camo. Only I think you can add some chips.. but delicate, but it is not a must. Well I think you should leave the tank for now. I think if you add some chips you will overdo the weathering. This is now very subtile, with chips not subtile anymore.

Thanks for the info on the paints.
Yes, are you planning a diorama for this?
I think that its a quality kit that would stand and look good on its own on a nice base.

Look at the beauty, nice camo. It is like on the tamiya's box
Did you have any problems with the tracks. Mine was gone, I think because of paint I had to get Tamiya's individual traks.

Ayhan..Nice panther you got there ...como is nice and well done ...I did notice you haven't painted the periscopes yet ...but I'm sure you were getting to that ...another thing I would do if I were you (but you're not ,so you don't really have to ) is paint the Jack block a wood color instead of the camo color ..if not for anything else just to show contrasts... On the engine deck you should have the louvers over the mesh on the right hand side as this was commonly seen on panthers with the heater . Other than that ...great build Sir!! Congrats...

This is my favorite Armor model of all time, that and the Tamiya king Tiger Henschel Turret. Good Job!
