Jasper dog Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Italeri Panther oob. Not a bad kit obviously not up there with Tamiya detail or precision wise. Hope you like, any advice welcome and thanks for looking. Edited January 28, 2018 by Jasper dog 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig Eater Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I was just looking into getting an Ausf G kit, the Italeri one is the cheapest so I was a bit wary about the quality but you've done a really great job with it so I think I'll give it a go too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I picked one up for less than £20 and without to much difficulty you have a Panther. I can't tell you how accurate it is as I'm not that sort of modeller but it looks a Panther to me! Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment, good luck if you give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Despite not being, possibly, the best kit that can be obtained, the result is unbeatable, I made a model A, certainly much older, and it seems that it was not bad at all. And is that with a little effort, resources and skill, you can pleasantly surprise the result, and it is also not expensive ... lol Cheers Jasper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Nice job on build, painting & weathering. There's something relaxing about doing a kit like that rather than wrestling with a myriad of tiny parts. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Absolutely right Pete, I tend to find just a straight oob takes me long enough never mind all the extra etch etc. At the end of the day whilst I admire the amazing results some of you chaps achieve and enjoy dabbling in that area occasionally I do enjoy a nice straight forward build and if it looks the part all the better! Cheers Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
