Hey guys:

A few days ago I was asking about color schemes for my HO scale (1/87th) Panther D that I got at work (Walthers). Well, I found a cool scheme from the battle at Kursk. Here is a link to my album. I uploaded 6 pictures of this little cat. Hope you like it!

Comments and criticisms are always welcome. This is my first tiny tank. I have to admit, although I'm a die-hard 1/35 guy, it was kind of fun. And seeing as the thing only cost me $3.00, you can't go wrong.

I do plan on putting it in a mini-dio soon.

Are you kidding us? its not April´s fool day yet! How did you get those lines so fine and no overspray! Mighty fine painting. It looks as good as a 1/35 to me!

very good small scale..congrats

Thanks for the kind words:

Plasticbattle: It was easy not to overspray...I painted them by hand :-) :-)

I wasn't confident that I would be able to pull them off that small with my airbrush.

Great job on the HO scale. Weathering looks really good too. I am really impressed on detail of this little Panther. By the way who makes this Panther?

Thanks for the compliment Kingcrt.

The Panther is made by Trident Miniatures. They are in Germany.

Thanks John17. I will check trident out these look they might be fun to do, maybe.

Excellent ....... hand painted! Really excellent workmanship. The overall fisih is unbelievable.

Excellent work... love the detail and scheme... amazing what you can do in braille scale with care and talent

Wooooooooo, nice work John! hard to believe that's HO scale; BTW, izzat an "Ontos" (arm8 pic) I see in your album?

Hey Gunner...good call. That is indeed an Ontos. My stepfather took the pictures when he did his tour in Vietnam.
