Hello again!
Not so long time ago i looked good camo for my Panther.There wasn`t this kind of panther in units what i prefer .Here i would like to show my model before airbrushing.Ther are metal claims and another parts what i scratch,BUT I HAVE VERY GOOD NEWS ! SOON I will have ready PE parts to plastic armor models in 1-25(1-24)!![:)]
On the beginning panther A and G ,Jagdpanther,King Tiger,T34,SU 100.Probably another models too. What are You interested? Please send me e mail !
Now some pics my Panter[;)]
What is Your opinion?
Looking good!
[:D] your Panther g is looking good,cant wait for the paint job.[:D]
looks good! cant wait to see your camo scheme
Great work Piter.
Everything is looking really good.
Lookin good!, You may have some problems with the tracks though
Not to big problem.I use plastic track to my paper-card Panther G with zimm.which one i rebuit now.
For plastic kit i will do resin or metal workable track[:)]
Who remembers my relation else? I ve tried to finish my SU 100 to Modelers Meeting in Gdansk ,but i didnt receive all necessary partsto conversion to SU 85M .This way i decided to paint my panther,but… I waited to new 1-25 PE Aber- kit to Panther. Camo is for "Kurmark " division ,february 1945,Kostrzyn (Kustrin) area.On photo we can see 2 new panther with kinn manlet and 3 paint scheme.The same day i received new Aber Kits [:)] .I`ll use side skirts,some of fenders and grills.
By the way,has Kurmark division any divisional insignia or markings?
I promise ready panter pics soon.[:)]
i`m sorry,yesterday i had wrote wrong code for pics and you have only thumbails.Now normal pics,sorry again !
doing the bottom of the hull really shows your appreciation for detail-- nice work![:D]-- the access and inspection plates look real nice-- good work![tup]–treadwell
the rest of the build looks real nice also[:D]
Hello again!
I affraid a little this step,but I decide demolish my Panther.Initially i ve planed to use only side supports,because bigger rebuilt be related to repainting.But its matter.
All fenders parts ,from Aber kit find on the table. I tried like said me Aber`s Owner to solder elements,instead of super glue.Especially for RC models that is stronger connection.
I decide to build up the connection between fenders and hull,especially that side skirts are by thicker brass,and at all finally its heavy. I added thin wire for stabilisation and stiffness.It s unvisible at all.
I drill holes in hull during tests.
Fenders without glue here
Now,skirts test montage. None the less no glue ,fenders are stabile.
I glue another parts from kit .Grills
Back-sight
Clamps
That`s all for now,today the right side
Nice progress. Good detail and paint scheme. I really like the striped camouflage. How did you get the tracks to sag? They look good.
Hello Matthew9!
Im sick and no more progress last week.Around 3 rd wheel is thint thread,goes from the middle of track and there i done small unvisible kink.Its temporare denouement. I do resin ,individual tracks.

It looks good , one note however , on the mantlet sides , there are 2 mounting attachments per side ,one upper ,one lower for what I have no idea but they are there on the late panther G ,small strips of styrene with 2 holes drilled each will suffice here , both can be seen in this picture , I would also do some texture to the mantlet itself with some stippled Mr surfacer 500 …sorry about the picture quality .
Thank you for sharing your Panther. I’m a new comer to armor. Your pics are really helpful for me. I bought my first armor model a couple of weeks ago. It’s a Panther V ausf A from Tamiya. I’ve been told it’s not the greatest kit, but I think it’s a good one start on. Your pics really give me ideas on how to improve my tank. Thanks again.
Hi Spector822002
Your Panther looks great.Is it 1-35 with friuli tracks and Aber PE ?
At the first moment I ve thought that its for IR version,but when i looked at the book Im confused.Just now i dont know.I `ve seen it on only one Panther from museums-> Munster.
I hope You find answer and say to me too.Send reagards Piter
Thanks Leadsled for Your reply.If You have 1-25 Panther A my relation about just this version is here.
Looking good! Want to see it finished!
Hello Anthony!!!
