Hello everyone...... This has been on and off my bench going back to 2012 when I picked it up off Ebay when I lived in the States. I finally summoned up will to try and get it built, as I'm stuck at the Zimmerit stage on my Elephant I just recently kicked off...... This Panther G has been a trial......It has a few upgrade sets involved. Tamiya Panther tracks Griffon Model Schurtzen Eduard Night Fighting detail set. FineMolds Vision blocks RB Barrel Masterclub resin bolts There's still a few details to add like the lower MG port cover on a chain, vision blocks (after main painting) and welds lines etc etc. It'll probably be on its way to completion by years end ....I hope. The paint scheme will I think be a vehivcle that has come back for a re-fit to get the night vision equipment and a new turret. So this will be in primer red where as the main hull will be in it's previous camouflage scheme prior to being sent back. The schurtzen will also be a mixed bag of new and a couple of old bent one's with original camouflage on them and battle damage.....well here's where we stand at present. Right side view. The gun rod cleaning tube is scratch built with 5mm brass tube, using the end caps from the kit parts with off-cut brass fret for handles and main brackets to the hull. Al the wiring is in super fine soldering wire. The connection point into the top of the turret for the electrics as well scratch built from bits and pieces. I decided to add additional camouflage loops to the main turret for branches etc they added in the field. I decided also not to go with the PE pins to hold on the spare track links and made them from Friul Track wire I had knocking around. The Masterclub bolt heads were a bind to add to the Schurtzen brackets rails, but I think when painted they should show up nice. Weld lines added for Night Fighting brackets. Well......try and finish all the remaining details and hopefully set up the airbrush next week for a primer coat to check for flaws etc to fix. Catch you all soon. Regards Simon.
