Panther 445

Project Inventory for now 

Two Panthers 

One of the main reasons I bought this kit instead of Tamiya's offering... Link by link tracks, I love it 

I love it, it reminds me the way we used to category puzzle pieces back then with my family 

We are ready I guess 

 

One side done 

The kit has welding textures but they are too plain and they would be really hard to see after rolled armor texture effect 

I painted the periscopes in silver first then black, a little trick I learnt from Japanese ship modelers for painting searchlights 

Zvezda had two piece barrel but it fit well. I applied Vallejo air silver by brush to see if there are any flaws and then removed the paint with IPA 

The kit supplied MG34 really sucks 

I replaced it with RB Model's MG34, it's a shame they are out of business
