Congratulations on your finished build 101St Airborne.
The overall appearance is very impressive!
Like the chipping and the dark looking hull.
I think you might have some silvering under the decals but that could be the camera angle.
Thank you for sharing!

As always

Looks pretty nice. I like the camo. Did you scratch the shields? I've never seen them with two short and then the same sizes, followed by two short again. I've always thought they were the same size.

I think the engine screens are supposed to be glued to the topside, rather then underneath. Wink

Thanks for sharing.

The colors look fairly bright.... I'd recommend doing a pinwash around more of the details, or an overall brown wash to dirty it up more. That's my opinion of course. Otherwise, excellent!  Yes

Looks excellent.  I would share my photos of my 1/25 Academy Panther I did, but sold it on ebay and deleted pics.  I rebuilt the cupola due to it being inaccurate, added the 1/25 tool and engine screen photoetch set and also added cast metal tracks from a supplier in Taiwan, that I have not been able to get ahold of anymore.  Right now I am in the process of scratchbuilding from an Academy Panther 'G' kit a Bergepanther.  Have the blade done, and now scratchbuilding the suspension system that sits inside of the vehicle.  Will post a few pics in a day or so.

I agree with the other post, use a light dark wash over the vehicle (dry brushed) and it will darken it and remove the bright sheen. Colors loog great otherwide.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. The decals are silvered a little so I can try to fix that, and the shields (skirts) are not scratch built they came with the kit different sizes.
