Hi Guys.... 

 

Here is my Das Werk Panther Ausf. A. Early, Finished as a Daimler Benz built vehicle. 

 

Panther A (II01) Hauptman Euler. Stab II Pz. Rgt. 23.

 

Kampfgruppe Bäke, February 16. 1944. Korsun Breakout, Cherkassy pocket.

 

The vehicle is finished with Vellejo paints, Windsor & Newton oils, and a lot of sweating after couple of disasters. 

 

Three photos of the actual vehicle, with Hauptman Euler.

Thanks for taking the time to look !!

The Cherkassy Pocket was pretty brutal, and more reading can be found here....

Hello Lee


Thanks for the great original photos and the link.
Your model is really top notch and as is often the case with Zimmerit, does not look over weathered.
Chipping is perfect and the colour variation with the camouflage on the engine deck makes it not a big white blob.
Congratulations!

Nice job on this Panther ! The winter camo is one of the hardest to do, and you did it well!!

Well, Gentlemen !!

Thank you for resurrecting this one :D

 

Pretty sure that this was last model I completed. Things have stayed rather busy at work, and a change in my kids swim team, now an hours drive to practice each night. 

Thanks for the kind words and support ;)

 

Lee.

That's a very nice build you've got there! Really nice. The only thing I don't like is the rear of the tank with no winter cammo. I think even a little there would break that. Sorry for commenting, but I always tend to point what I dislike, and I want that done with my builds also. Anyway Congratulations for the real nice work!

 

Cheers

LM
