Panther preparring to ponce

[PANZERMAN]

Hey fellow addicts, got another work for you to check out. It's a 1/72 Dragon kit of a Panther tank.
Scratchbuilt a complete interior for this one. Micro surgery...HaHa! Also added an AA mg and an aerial.
Added some shell hits and side skirt damage. Placed some stowage on the rear deck and WWAALA! Done.
The tank crew are Airfix, Italeri, and Preiser figures(all conversions). They look a lil rough, but I made
this back in '07. Things look brighter now....HeHe! The base is wood and strofoam covered with wood-
putty. Typical railroad turf & foliage, along with some airferns...TTAADA! All Done.





Any comment, pointers, or critiques are always welcomed. Thanks for viewing.

Incredable detail for a 1/72 model. Battle damage on the skirt looks great! Keep em' comin'

Re: Panther preparring to pounce!

My bad, should have checked my spelling on initial thread. Wrote "ponce", instaed of "pounce". :-[ :-[
My school Marm would have cracked my knuckles with a yardstick!! OOUUCH!
Now go to the chalkboard and write "the ponce should have pounced" 100 times!!!

Wow! It's pretty hard to believe that that is a 1/72nd scale model. the work you've done is absolutely top class!

Cheers!

Thanks for the kind comments. One of the reasons I like this site is the warm
reception a persons receives from his peers. Other "modeling sites" get a little
clichy and are patroled by "know-it-alls". Be on guard against this. I just glad this is a place
an average modeler can have FUN and post his creations without the fear of ridicule.

Looks quality so much in such a small build I find 1/35 a bit of squint some time so top marks bud
