Van McLemore
Wichita, Kansas
Van says this Panther Ausf D had a little too much weight for the bridge. He built the Tamiya tank kit basically out of the box except for Friulmodel tracks. Van scratchbuilt the base and bridge from basswood and added Tamiya figures from his spares. He finished the tank and figures with Tamiya acrylics, weathered with oil paints, and mixed the ground cover from various sources.
