bluriusz Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hello, Here's my newest kitty - Panther Ausf.D. Dragon - 1/35 - Premium Edition. Few words about the kit. It was a bit of a disappointment for me to be honest. Not the quality of the moulds, premium addons, but the fit itself. Traditionaly, Dragon's instructions were not good, missing parts, etc. Usually I really enjoyed Dragon kits, but this one was a bit different. Anyways, it was fun to paint it and weather. Decided to go for a non-muded vehicle, just some dust. I hope you like it. Now some motorbike on the workbenchSee you,Bart. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANovaScotian Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Damn nice looking Panther! Used but not abused, just the way I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Bart, you've turned out an ace Panther! I know Dragon's instructions are abysmal and will frustrate the modeller, but despite the trials and tribulations of the build, you have produced a very nice model Great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Very nice paintjob Not sure the armoured skirts would bend like that. They'd be torn off long before. And I've never seen width indicators on a Panther before. Or any German tank, for that matter. Is that a Dragon invention or did they really have them? Thanks for showing.

Is that a Dragon invention or did they really have them? I wondered about that as well. But it doesn't stop that from being a top notch model, well done.

I've never thought about it to be honest. I've seen some models online and it looked rather nice so I wanted to make on my model too:) Thanks everyone for the posts! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Great Panther! Love the photos! But, for my opinion, the gun is too black at the end..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Gun's okay in my opinion, paint job is crisp, side skirts were invariably battered, missing, hanging off or reattached as necessary and your tracks are a triumph. If you're recreating an exact example of the marque then by all means, dig into the detail. If you are creating something that you enjoy building and like to look at, then build for pleasure without digging into the details. I wouldn't be upset if that were gracing a little space somewhere in my home. Top banana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
