Here is the latest project that I have been working on. It is the 1/35 Scale M1 Panther II by Trumpeter. Not a bad kit all in all. It is not as detailed as the Dragon kit but a whole lot cheaper.









The rest of the photos are here.

Looks good. I just got the Trumpeter kit off of eBay for a whopping $8 and $5 shipping. I intend on building straight OOB, you know, like we used to do before the invention of aftermarket accessories.

Very true Rob. This one is straight out of the box also. It was a fun build and I did not care about the amount of rivets it had. :-) I scored a few nice kits myself on E-bay and plan to build them all OOB. I had almost forgot what it was like to build for the pure joy of building.

I did that one a while back and it was fun OOB. though I have to say that for me, with all the stuff dragon puts in the kits these days OOB is much more challenging than it used to be.

Anyway yours looks good.
