Looks nice.  Try altering the FStop on your digicamera (if possible) to redue the blur of your muzzle shot.  Also I'm not sure if the MG mount on the commander's cupola was equipped to mount an MG 42.  From what I understand it was used only for the MG34.  Check references on this (not other models).

Hi,

I think you have achieved a very good result in terms of the overall appearance with the camouflage looking very convincing under some nice weathering.

The periscope lenses should be clear and it looks like you have a slight warp on the right hand track?

But come on, this is a nice one!

Thank you for sharing!

Johan

I'm not one of the bigger armour experts but she looks excellent to me! Yes

Looks like a nicely done Panther! The only suggestion I would make would be to tone down the rust effects as they appear a little too orange particularly on the exhausts. Otherwise it's a good looking big-cat! Yes

Overall, you've done a great job. Yes There are a lot of cool effects you've got going on there. I really like the crackled mud on the bottom (even though you can't see it without tipping it over...) and many of the worn bits. The only thing that kinda sticks out are the tracks. It appears as though a link or two could be taken out  on each side to tighten them up a bit. They are not "engaged" enough on the drive sprockets. I like the camo pattern too, nice paint job. Cool

Welcome Sign to the forums. I appreciate your Panther. Can't really add anything, because Bill and the others read my mind. I do like what I see with the camo.

Thats a lovely loking build. Ashide from the comments alreay made, the only other thing i would add is a second antenna. There should be a 2m on the rear left hand side.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I think it looks great, especially the spare track links at the back of the hull.

Nice Panther hummingbird!  Great work on the camo pattern and weathering!  Looks realistically worn, dusty, dirty and muddy!  Let see some more of your work!

 - Thank  you SOO much

@   - Yep, I had a hunch it was more the MG34 but I don't want to waste any more money on this and not to mention, this was a practice kit as I stated in my blog post... Thank you for the heads-up

@   - oh, Tracks are wrapped due to the WheeLs ( there was a constant stream of curses when I was putting them on ) ... :( ... Really hate those wheels ... and thank you for the feed back

@ - Still, thank you very much for taking time to comment

@  - Noted sir ... thank you for the input

@  -  those tracks are just $%^$&%^&*£%$"£. and the wheels assembly just messed up so much. Like I said in my blog post, the wheels didn't come out perfectly aligned which effect the tracks assembly. That is the most Disgusting parts of the whole building process and I HATE THEM .. I almost threw away this kit on account of those stupid wheels and tracks but I tried to see this through just for the sake of improving myself.

@   - Thank you sir and glad to be here again, posting stuffs

@ - I never knew anything about the Antaenna and I couldn't fint out about it at all. Thank you so much for the tip.

@   - Thank you for the feed back, sir

@  - OF cos sir, I am currently building a King Tiger, Type90, Tiger and pershing ( all of them at once, but in that order ) .. I will definitely share my builds
