t15dja Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Here's my version of the 1/35 Tamiya Panther G (late). I don't normally build armour.... I'm usually an aircraft builder ....however during a hiatus with my recent 1/72 Concorde build I kept seeing this kit on the shelf and have always liked the shape of the Panther so decided to go for a quick build. It's OOB except for photo etched grilles and only took a short time to build - the fit was excellent. I know I haven't got the track sag quite right - all suggestions on how to do that with the kit tracks gratefully received - but it was great fun to build, paint and weather....so much so I've now bought a Tiger as well! I think I've just been converted to armour as well as aircraft! Thanks for looking! 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 As a first foray to the dark side that’s pretty impressive. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then dab some super glue onto the top of the wheels and press the tracks down onto them. You can use something like pieces of wood of a suitable size to hold the track in place until the glue sets.

Whitewolf Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Very nice! As an aircraft builder I'm not sure how to weather something like this? I've seen the kit around and fancy building an Ardennes Panther? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the weathering, I just used my standard Flory washes and tried to add streaking effects to the vertical surfaces as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used those on aircraft, but never on AFVs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Escape Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Those colours are great! I’ve got one of those to build and I think I’m going to go for a similar style. Great inspiration! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
