1/35 Dragon Panzerkampfwagen 'V' Panther.. 'Snow Cat'

[langy]

A couple of months ago I returned to this build, it started life as the Dragon, Kursk Panther D  (6164,) it had been left due to me loosing interest after sifting through loads of confusing info about German Panther tanks at Kursk, so it sat for nearly two years in my shed, unloved and unwanted..

 

I'm not sure how or why I finally suddenly decided to ditch the Kursk angle, but I figured I'd have a crack at turning it into a winterized Panther tank based at Karkhov ...(or any other winter location)..

 

So the story goes like this,

The Panther tank has stopped for the night to resupply and the crew to grab a bit of rest, this is the following morning with the crew grabbing a brew whilst they finish re-supplying their vehicle.. 

 

thoughts and comments are always welcome..

Looking at the poses and positioning of your crew, an alternative back story could easily be that they are taking a pause for breath and to reflect after being in action for some time, you've given the two figures on the ground very drained "thousand yard stare" expressions.

 

Excellent modelling none-the-less sir

Stunning  have always wanted to try a winter / white wash camo but worry gonna look awful or too white  and  wreck the model.  Is the building scratch built?
