Afternoon All The Panther/M10 was part of an attempted ruse by the German Panzer Brigade 150 during the Ardennes Offensive, later known as the Battle of the Bulge. Unfortunately for them it was unsuccessful and the Panther/M10's were knocked out. Private Francis Currey of the US 120th regiment received the Congressional Medal of Honor after he managed to knock one of the tanks out with a Bazooka. This is dragons 1/72 Panther/M10 hybrid. Not a lot of parts involved really as the M10 'shell' covers a lot of the normal panther parts. Kit was built OOB apart from the below additions: 1. I replaced grab handles and lifting points with two gauges of fuse wire for added effect. 2. Cut mesh covers for the square engine deck ventilation panels. 3. Replaced turret top crossbars with plastic rod. 4. Replicated bow turret cover with thin clear sheet. I ran into trouble with the tracks as they were very stiff, snapping into 1cm bits. Usually Dragon DS tracks are fantastic but appears these had been affected by an accidental spill of some type of solvent. I brought another old Dragon Panther purely for the tracks, the model being scrapped for parts as it was their steel hull brand. A worthy sacrifice. Paints used: Mr Color Lacquers & Tamiya enamels. Weathering: AK Interactive enamel panel washes & streak/grime/track wash. MIG pigments dry earth. Chipping/wear done with Tamiya German grey dabbed with a sponge & artists pencil for metal look in high foot traffic areas. Exhaust rust recreated with Tamiya flat brown, AK exhaust stains & MIG rust pigment. Enjoy 😄
