DaveJL Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hello all, Maybe biting off more than I can chew here, but once I clear the Tiger Diorama off the Bench, I'm going to try and finish this for the GB too. Dragons' wonderful looking Panther G with Zimmerit. Some great touches - metal tow cable, rubber storage boxes, etch grilles and steal hooks. Will add a few bits and pieces from the accessory sets I bought for the Tiger. Got a bit of a bug for these kits at the minute. Currently looking for a King Tiger, Panzer IV and Jagdpanther Dave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfpack Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The Jagdpanthers need zimmerit. Unless Dragon's snuck one in under my radar. The G1 early is a really good kit and Atak's zimmerit really sets it off a treat. The Dragon Indi-link tracks are some of the easiest I've assembled.

MADMUSKY Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Must admit I do like the Panther Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Cheers folks. There is a boxing of the Jagdpanther G1 with Zimmerit, unless i've made it up Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lloyd Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Very high quality box art... the glare on the ground in front of the tank, and the silhouette effect of the dark buildings... just cut out and hang up the box top, and throw the plastic away. Any chance of a shot of the those marking options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveJL Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Haha throwing the plastic away would save a good bit of time! That's the markings as posted above. I'm going for the bottom one. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveJL Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Cheers Andy. Are the Cyberhobby tracks individuals? I've never used link and length tracks before! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ignore him. Those DS tracks are the dog's nards. A drop of poly cement fixes them into position and they take paint like normal plastic. If anyone doesn't want their DS tracks, I'll gladly take 'em off your hands.

DaveJL Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 I did hear good reports about them when I bought the Tiger 1, but i'm in no position to comment as I rarely build armour! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfpack Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I fit a set on a TAMIYA Tiger I. They fit superbly. As far as not fitting the sprockets goes, c'mon, time to start modelling............... W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Andy. I'll see how I get on with the Tiger tracks and do a test fit of these ones. If they aren't great, I'll take you up on that offer!
