Thank you sir for your support :th:

Last I did so tiny work again on the panther. This time I have assembled the exhaust and some bits except for the stowage bins. The fit of the back plate was horrible with gaps so I have to filled em up with tamiya grey liquid surfacer

Image

As the surfacer was drying I started assembling the upper hull etc : vision scope , late type ventilator and the front hatches. Later once the surfacer was dried I glue the upper hull and the fit again was not great. So I have to tape it tightly and let it set overnight

Image

Thats all for this weekend's progress will continue in the next weekned

Camo update: I manage to do my very first camo on the panther which lasted for 3 hours plus :crazy: but still the finish is amazing. I hand painted the road wheels using a thin brush

Image

Image

Image

The tools all painted up and glueing the tracks plus the side skirt
Image

Image

Image

Image

Decals applied using mr hobby settler and softener

Image

Image

and here's the finish product.. I would to thank Hollywood Modelling and Schoof for creating this SiG I enjoyed it very much

more pics at the final reveal section
