You may or may not be interested, but there are pictures online of a Jagdpanther in the Imperial War Museum in London with actual armour penetrations. I'm typing this from an airport kiosk, but if I had a better machine, I'd post a URL. Try googling for images with keywords "jagdpanther imperial war museum" if you're interested.

Outstanding work of art, are you going to try to build another one as you wanted in the beginning?

Is that a compliment?

This is the first time I've actually come upon this thread and I have to say that it's one of the coolest models I've seen in a long time!!!! EXCELLENT WORK, K-Dawg!! TRULY SUPERB!

I'm a sucker for burnt-out vehicles, wrecks, etc, so this one is one after my own heart. I think what is truly instructive here is that, had I not known how a simple paint mishap had given you those "priceless" paint blotches and chips, I would have wracked my brain trying to figure out how you managed such an utterly convincing ruined finish! It's amazing to think that sometimes the most incredible results are simply the result of accidental miracles!

Nothing taken away from your skill however, K-dawg! The weathering and subtlety are really just jaw-dropping! I'll be watching this one!
