It has to be either M10 or M18... I was thinking US only not other Allies. So many other tank destroyers...

[danb.]

A famous American tank seriously up gunned by genius British engineers with a brilliant British gun! Tiger ace Michael Wittman met his maker at the hands of one in 1944...................................

Not sure yet mate, there seems to be several good kits out there but the dragon one looks a cracker so i'll probably opt for that.

[ceresvesta.]

I loved the dragon kit. If I may:

That was a fun build but, it had lots of issues.

[bullardino]

Magnificent Panther, Stuart

Re the Firefly, what about a Tasca kit? I really enjoyed their M4A1 in british service, although it's still there sitting for the final details and some OPR

Tasca would get my vote too but yer'd really need to run it past Big John!!!

That be my same response Stu, John can sort ya out.

[beast]

Think it'll be a Dragon kit guys as Black Dog make a tremendous hessian camo net upgrade kit for the Firefly. Says it's for the dragon kits so think i'll go with that. What you dudes think?

[ceresvesta.]

Dragon kits are easy on the wallet. This way, you can go and buy some sweet AM stuff like the BD Hessian camo!

[danb.]

Hello chaps sorry for the delay in getting an update up theres been sickness in the household and my attention has been elsewhere anyway i have made a start on the base and will be starting the groundwork next i have finally installed the tracks to the Panther and im calling it done for now there will be a few added extras when the base is finished hope ya like what ive done























The base for this i used 2 cake bases,polystyrene and in wrapped styrene to hide the polystyrene why its textured all will be revealed in the next update





ACW thanks

Top class modeling Dan, absolutely awesome work imo!
Very difficult when your replicating a real subject from a photograph but you've pulled it off and then some sir!

[Leon]

[ceresvesta.]

Ditto Beast and Leon! Awesome work, I love the round base.
