Hello everyone. It's been a long time since I've been here but work and little free time prevent that. I have some update around here like engine painting: On the cylinder head covers, which were aluminum on the actual tank, I first tested chipping with Ammo products. Hope you like. All the best.

Hello everyone!! I'm building Trumpeter's Panther G Early 1/16 and although the Steel Foundry textures are not reproduced, for me, it is very fun to reproduce them with miliput putty in areas such and the Commander's dome, the mantle, etc, etc!! And I agree that it is a great model despite the errors that it presents and that are a challenge to correct.

Very cool your Panther!!

Yes, I think so too.

Thank you all for your kind words!! Now I show you the finished Panther engine. Some details: For the moment is everything. I hope you liked it. Greetings, Jose.

Your Panther is wonderful, I really like the painting with those controlled chipping.

I'm not into dioramas but I love your Panther!!!!

Hello. To begin with, I will tell you that you are brave as well as everyone who decides to build this kit. This model is impressive whem it is finished, one day I would like to build it myself. There is something that I don't like in your model, the painting of the interior of the hull, I think they are not correct. I hope you don't mind. Greetings, José.

Congratulations!! That transmission is awesome.

Thank you for your words. I have several 1/35 scale models without finishing and without starting. 1/35 is definitely not for me. I will not give up the 1/16 scale, it is made for my clumsy hands.

Yes, but little by little it doesn't hurt that much....

Have you also built it at 1/16 scale??

No problem but I would like you to mention my Name when you base yourself on something in particular.

Hello. I agree that this tank is very nice. For me the ideal scale for the Pz 38t is 1/16, it is so small!! Although I think the most beautiful tanks of all time are the Panther and the King Tiger.

That nut is not very accessible but I will try to tighten it so that it does not lose oil and stain everything ...

Hola a todos. Finalmente les muestro la transmisión Panther terminada. (although some pipes are unpainted) Y ahora un poco más cerca: Eso es todo por ahora, espero que les guste. Nos vemos pronto.

Thanks a lot.

Hi friends. I am following this thread with great interest, one day I would like to build this Tiger but for now I am busy with Trumpeter's 1/16 Panther.

Hi everyone. He painted the inside of the helmet with Cavalry Brown from Vallejo. Then I masked to paint with Cremeweis from Ammo Mig. The masking job was very complicated. Greetings and I hope you liked it!

At the moment a new update: The shock absorber cover on the radio operator's side. The connection of the throttle to the engine in the firewall. This mechanism that is also located in the fire wall Test fit of the gearbox at its location in the hull.

Thanks Marco for commenting. At the moment there is no rush to paint the hull.

A great job so far !!

Hello friends, arter a log time here I have some updates. Axle grease lines with copper wire and lead wire: Detail of the welds:

Great job!!! The appearance is excellent!!

Hello. I am not an expert modeler but I can say that you have been impressive. I love the 1/16 Hobby Boss Tiger I and would like to build it one day. The zimmerit has been very realistic. I think there are some things that can be improved. First of all, something that attracts a lot of attention is the links of the turret chain. They shouldn't be shiny, they should be completely rusted. On the other hand, I would add pigmented powder to all horizontal surfaces of the hull. And it would add dirt and dust to the rubber treads on the undercarriage wheels. I hope to be of help. All the best.
