Very nice, what kit is this? I've never seen that pattern on the barrel before, is that historical or just something you decided to do? Either is fine, I'm just wondering since I haven't seen it before.

I like the damage on the fenders.

Hi,
This is the Dragon kit No. 6160 in 1:35
The netting around the barrel was to attach foliage. I had seen a photo and thought it looked cool. 
I used tulle to wrap the barrel.


Cheers,

I like it! Great job on this. I'm building a Panther G right now and love seeing what others have done.

Very nice,I like the subtle camo patterns,did you do the zimm or is it molded on,looks good and I never saw the numbers applied to the spare tracks,kit instructions,something you saw somewhere?

I did the Zimmerit with putty.  I saw a photo of a Panther where the crew had used extra track on the sides of the turret for added armor. They had obscured the tanks number so they had repainted it on the track.  I used extra decals although I probably should have hand painted them to replicate the cruder 'field paint' job in the photo.

Cheers,

Excellent sir I note you paid attention to the track sag and got it right. Alot of guys don't seem to do this
