howdy guys, its that time of the month again and this is my entry, this is the old italeri panther D kit, the zim came from a company called show modeling and was made from paper but it only cost a dollar so i had to give it a try and to be honest i dont think it turned out that bad, the grills came from the spares box and the rest was scratched, i know its an old kit and i make no claims on the accuracy of it but it was fun and needed to be built before i try the new dragon kits.
all comments are welcome and thanks for looking.

howdy guys, its that time of the month again
Geez Ron, when I say this to myself, it means I get out the same tank I have been working on sice Jesus was a lad :-)
Congrats, as this looks every bit as good as your other efforts (although your M5A1, OOB was my fave) You say that this has paper zimmerit? Never heard of it, but it is impressive though...
Best of luck
Cheers
Brad

Hi, your Panther really looks fantastic.
I never heard about that paper-zimmerit but it looks nice.
Great work and a good reference for my "Premium Edition"-Panther I just bought.

Great looking cat Ron. Love you weather/detail work, especially the rusting effects. The first photo has a nice pic of the rusting effect on the fenders, my favorite shot.

Great shots of a great looking model. Over all very nice work, very nice indeed. Paper zimmerit looks pretty impressive.
