Redcoat2966 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi Darryl.......nice choice. I have this one partially built in the cabinet.....I'd have thrown it into this GB, but if was far beyond the 25% rule. Take a look at the Voyage Kursk Panther upgrade set.....it has the tool box seen on a few Panthers of that battle. Tough to bend, but give's it something different. I thought this Dragon kit was pretty good, no issues I came across......looking forward to following... Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see the Voyager set but going off the pictures of the Panther I'm doing it doesn't appear to have the box in question....such a shame I don't get to make a pigs ear of folding it! That's my excuse anyway.... Being my first GB I thought to keep it simple as time might be an issue, could perhaps have been a little more adventures but there's still plenty of opportunities to muck this up yet! Suffice to say the primary goal is to drag this over the line completed just in time to start the Panzer III one immediately after! Looking forward to seeing your Bergepanther take shape!

Jasper dog Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Torn between a III or a Stug, might do a Kursk one to go with the Panther... However I am tempted by the new Takom kit.. Choices, choices, choices!🤔 Signed up for the III build before I decided on the Panther one, think it starts two days after this finishes, perfect timing! So I hope you chaps are all signed up😉 10 hours ago, Redcoat2966 said: Same here mate........must finish this one for a change, although the painting combined with building is a task and half.....keep it up, and see you at the finish line. You have set yourself a punishing schedule but three months should be sufficient, if I can get something finished in that time anyone can! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The one thing I really regret is repairing that PzIII L from the first grey and the winter white debacle. I have the N that I may do as the 502 vehicle in the grey, pre white wash. I have the Takom Stug III, and its a real nice kit, Darryl. I’m pretty sure there are markings in there for a Gross Deutschland vehicle, to go with your Panther. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even though I have a couple of Tamiya Pzr III and old Dragon Stugs the thought of a new Takom kit is very appealing and it saves after market decals for a GD vehicle 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Progress, I've actually managed a few mins on the bench / at the tabel, as mentioned previously I've migrated temporarily to a collapsible table in the lounge, the luxury! Treated myself to some new tools, Budget Xuron nippers, not a huge improvement over the old cheapies but they are the budget model. Perhaps if I'd spent £20+ on some or bought some God Hand, or whatever they're called, might be different but they are really pricey! And a new set if tweezers. Another Ebay special but really cheap, to buy as opposed to quality. As mentioned earlier bit of filler required on glacis plate but nothing insurmountable. Varies fixtures and fittings added to the hull and turret shell assembled. Since photos I've squirted a little black primer inside the hull and turret, don't want the reflection from shiny grey plastic visible! Working on a new track guard, work in progress... How clumsy I've bent it out of shape..... That's all folks, have a good day. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Just checked, and yes, GD is included in the marking options, for Kursk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think you've had a good headstart and I knew Lee couldn't wait for you, so much for the "no one gets left behind" motto btw. I felt duty bound to keep you company but if its unappreciated.... No good trying to placate the old duffer with "nice bit of copper work..." either, it's all bent and buckled now! 14 hours ago, Longbow said: I thought he was waiting for us to finish first !! Don't you start, bleedin colonials, I was keeping Steve company at the back of the field.

Going to have to get a move on though being maligned for not cracking on... I do like the occasional quality continental beverage of an eve, save the real liquor for a breakfast pick-me-up!😉 Cheers chaps, mostly appreciated! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
