PATCHED UP PANTHER WIP"UPDATE 4""ALL DONE"

[MrT]

Last week I started building a Panther G from Dragon. I wanted to do it as a very late war subject so I decided to build the model up as one that has been rebuilt with salvaged and refurbished parts with no time to repaint before returning to battle. I started with the turret as roadwheels are my least favorite part of armor building. Here are some pictures of the progress to this point. Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.

Well you know what my favorite part is right !!! Very nice start and the painting is fantastic looks well worn. I like the idea of the different parts, should be nice and colorful.

No need to be nervous just do your model the way you see it not the way someone else see's it.
