This is the old Dragon Panther II built oob except for an Armorscale barrel. Before anyone says that there wasn’y supposed to be a muzzle brake, I used a little artistic license ( plus the muzzle brake was so darn nice, a little kit all itself, I had to use it).Will try to get some better pictures later but here she is.Hope you like .
WOW! that looks great PZ88! I always liked that subject and you did a really good job on yours!
I like the camo.
Well done![tup]
Oh yeah, I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I recieved first place in the armor class and best of show with this little kitty kat at a local show.[:)] Thanks for looking.
Hey man, that’s gorgeous! WHo’s to say that this aufrung with the muzzle brake would not have been adopted in time? That’s the nice thing about some of these prototypes and "paper panzers’ that are out there now; you can legitimately take as much artistic lisence as you want! I think it looks cool!
There have been Tiger II produced in one-offs with–if I remember correctly–the same guns as were in the Panthers, and upgunned StuG IIIc’s with L/48 guns as well, so…
I think it looks awesome! Congrats on the win![#toast][yeah]
Not bad for fantasy. Of course, this isn’t a Panther II, but, a nice "what if " concept. I actually have seen people get angry on some of the other sites when this kit is represented as a Panther II. Sometimes the rampant need for absolute accuracy nowadays overshadows the fact that, like your tank, it’s a pretty darn nice model.

Wow…well now,…there’s nothing quite like a nice back handed compliment is there.?
IMO …I think PZ88 did a great job on this kit. Looks great to me!
[tup] Fantasy or not, it looks pretty good to me. The first picture gives a very menacing appearance… especially with that intimidating muzzle brake. [#toast]Good for you!

Beautiful kitty. The camo turned out very nice. What did you use to achieve the scratches in the paint?
It really looks terrible, so you need to pack it and send it to me [:-^].[:D] J/K. Looks really nice. love the way your camo job came out.
That’s a nice looking tank. The camo job is very nice. I personaly love fantacy. The more outragous, the better.
That tank is definately “evil” [}:)] and “manacing” [alien] as well.

panzer88,
Super job!!! Really like the look of your beast. I will have to try my hand at one in the future but in 1/72 scale.

Thanks for all the kind words. The scratches were made by using a regular pencil and some colored pencils( burnt umber & metallic silver).
