The WIP for Panther continue. Well, nothing much to talk about actually…I got totally busy having fun with other things and left the Panther abandoned for quite sometime 😀 the current status is that the fitting is done and the tank is ready for some paint job ^^
For a World War II tank, Panther is a huge one, no wonder this guy always bring bad news to their enemies..but no matter how big this tank is, when it comes to a 1/35 scale model, all the parts becomes tiny and annoying. Maybe that’s what makes me a bit slow in this snap fitting process.
The turret on progress
Up until now, I still don’t know whether there will be a new technique implemented on this build. My plan right now is just to make the paint job looks as real as possible (well…that is not “just” a plan). I might also order another acrylic display with a wooden base and give a simple ground works on it. That’ll make the display looks simple and sweet 😀
There are accessories that should be placed on each side of the upper hull. But attaching them now will create problems in the painting process…so I decide to put them after the paint job for the body is done. I never do this thing before but it sounds not that complicated 😀
That is all for this small progress. Thank you for your attention folks ^^
seeing model kits like these reminds me of me dad :3
He used to love it while he’s still around. Mostly airplanes though.
Cool! Airplane scale modelling has a lot of fans, maybe because it is the most challenging 😀
Which kit is this – doesn’t look like Dragon. Photoetch looks great too
This is a Dragon kit actually 😀
looking at your photos, those detailing parts are really small……. XD
must have taken lots of patience *salute
Yeah, lucky I didn’t loose them. And for military kit, there are usually some spare parts provided. For example, if the tank need two handrail, the kit provide you four of them.
beautiful machine. the design still looks modern despite the fact that 70 years have gone by since its inception.. I especially like the Jagdpanther version
yeah, the beauty of this machine eternal 😀
