Panda 1/16 PzKpfw 38(t)

Ok, think I'm finished with this one. I'm still learning and I tried, and failed, with for example making mud look realistic. Therefor I leave this tank in this state.

The build itself was fun, even with lots of errors in the instruction sheet, like doublettes of the same pages and hard to see how some parts should go etc. Also, the decals was a let down, you can easily see how thick they were. I also learned a few things though, build easier kits before you tackle those harder ones!

Anyway here are a few pics!

Wow - that's a very fine piece of work Robert ! I'm really impressed !
The coating/highlighting looks excellent ... as well as the weathering !

[Orbyn]

Excellent work! I love the weight of the tracks and all of the tools, they look great. Thanks for sharing.

It looks great Robert! As for the mud... when it comes to armour, rust, mud, and dust are the hard parts and take a lot of work to get it so that you're happy with it.
Lots of practice and experimentation is key.
So don't worry about it. This not so little gem looks great the way it is.
Well done!!!

Thats still an excellent build despite your misgivings. Far better than I could do at this stage. I think you made the rust look real

Haha, I'm sorry!
The cheapest I found when I bought it a couple of months ago was from luckymodel.com, not sure if that have changed though

Robert your starting a trend as i saw one in Germany im considering buying, the build looks great and the work on the tools is just super as well as the rust on the exhaust.
is there an interior for the driver or an engine bay ?

There are rivets on the floor and walls.That's basically all it is. The turret have some details but nothing special.
I looked for some aftermarket stuff but couldn't find any when I looked.

[Coen]

I'll be seeing about picking one of these up in February or early March I think. It may end up in my 1/16 Tiger I diorama.
Call me inspired Rob!!! Thanks haha.
