"Halt! Someone check the inside" 1/35 Tamiya Panther G Normandy 1944

Felt really bad doing this to my Tamiya Panther, but I felt like doing something a little different and doing a little experimentation. This is my first wreck!

Thanks Bullet21.

I did do a "few" tweaks for effect that I'm surprised no one pointed out. The barrel bending was not intentional, it was due to too much heat when I was drying off the base. Secondly the front hatch would not stay open like that, but I did it simply for effect. And Yes, it would have had to be reversing at the time of impact for the tracks to be sitting like that.

But hey, it was fun to do and my first attempt at a wreck :)

Lovely looking Dio. I really couldn't do that to a panther. Would break my heart.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I always use air dry clay for Zimmerit. I find it's inexpensive and if you aren't happy you still have time to re-mould it. I don't have any special tools other than a flat head screw drivers,steak knife and a razor blade. The most important tool is patience!
