flak panther

Post by martin57 »

well all done , its a bit close to the finish , but i made it .
there are a lot of firsts here for me so this was a big learning curve .
hope you like it . this panther will look well worn due to the fact the crew spent most of there time on top of the hull draging ammo and eqpment all over .
all commImageents good or bad are welcome .

Great result :bow::

Big fan off your weathering and especially the wood.
But tell me, what's the canvas thingy on the front?

hi peppie thancks for your input ,
the canvas thingy is a rain cover for the driver and raido op , because there is no hatch,
in order to fetch the ammo from inside

the canadians and british troops were very supprised to see this open hatch , and said how easy it would be to toss a grenade
in there .
bearing in mind this type of flak panther was feild enginered and used the recover panther hull :thumb1:

That's some beautiful work Martin. That weathering is wonderful especially the chipping. Damn that's excellent. The wood is awesome too. Well done bud. A fine job.

Wow Martin. That looks uber cool. Your weathering looks great.

Definitely something a low level Tiffie should avoid at all costs.
