Hi all.
I'm sort of feeling my way around how to do things here , so this post is really just a test for image posting.
Anyway, this is Dragons kit number 6160 Panther A , which I just finished - kit tracks and a few hours with the pin vice

If the pics work, I hope you like the model.

Nice work Donald, it looks good to me. You must have a lot of patience, drilling out all those guide teeth on the tracks. Me I'm lazy, I'd just pick up up some A.M. ones . One thing you might want to do is to trim the antenna a little, they weren't that tall. Here is a pic that gives you a decent view of the antenna.


Cheers,
Mike

Donald,

Excellent build. I like the mud build up on the road wheels. What did you use for Zim?
