I would really like to join your Panther Group, could you please tell me what do I have to do. I am planning to build a Panther Ausf G Steel Wheels version.

Like the exterior paintjob , very nice .... the interior looks labor intensive , who did you have to kill to get that interior kit ? I ordered one from jaguar directly a month ago ,and it still hasn't been delivered here yet ! Fine work overall !

I was lucky because I was able to find my kit in a Mexican Store.

It took me approximately 1 month to build it. (during my free time)

The guy looks relaxed up there on the turret. I guess he has nothing to worry about with all the shells he has at his disposal. GREAT JOB!

VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! I love the interior.... Great Job...
I like the paint job as well... Congrats...

Peace

Oh one more thing... this is a small and probably mute point, but the inside of the open hatches on the front would not have been buff colored as the interior. They were painted the exterior color. Actually I have read where the entire interior was left only in primer later in the war to save time and materials.

Of my last works / Panther Ausf G with Infra Red

Posted by rtvmodeler on Thursday, February 26, 2004 2:29 AM

Hello again frieds:

This kit was my last work of 2003. I hope you like it.

Version:
Panther Ausf. G with I.R. - From the 6th. SS-Panzer seen in Hungary (early 1945)

Kit used:
* Panther Ausf G - Late / Tamiya # 35176 / Scale 1/35

With many additions as:
1.- IR Section of the Panther Ausf G - Late / Tamiya # 35174
2.- Interiors - Jaguar #63504
3.- Compartment engine - Verlinden # 1203
4.- Photoetched - Aber # 35024
5.- Metal Gun barrell - Jordi No. TG-10
6.- Antennas of photoetched - Dragón No. 3819
7.- Tracks of metal - Friulmodel # ATL-08
8.- I.R. Lens - Greif
9.- The I.R. system with photoetched and copper wire cable and it is connected to the auxiliary box of the interior of the turret
10.- Numbers and National insigne: I used Eduard templates for Aerograph

Technic:
* Aerograph
* Tamiya and humbrol colours
* dry brush
* weathering with oils and pastels
* light touch of fine pencil
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES:
As you can see, the chassis and the body (hull) of the Panther are not glued because it needs to be opened in order to show the interiors. The crew man is neither glued
