Pather F Nice stuff

Sebastian Meyner Author
Very nice indeed! ...however a little over engineered in some places, well normal Dragon style 😉

Holger Kranich
Oh my favorite Kitty! Looks nice!

Sebastian Meyner Author
Welcome to the kitty party! 🙂 Wirklich guter BS. Stellenweise etwas überdetailiert ...Drahon halt

Holger Kranich
Ja, daß kennt man ja. Und überall diese Nupsis, die man noch abtrennen muß.

Rui S
Watching😎

Sebastian Meyner Author
Genau! Normalerweise mach' ich deswegen um Dragon einen großen Bogen.... Ungefähr 50% der Bauzeit verbringe ich auf allen vieren und suche Kleinteile. Schnipp, pling und weg 😉

@Ruis: Welcome! 👍

Holger Kranich
Die Ketten wissen zu gefallen. Magic Tracks?

Sebastian Meyner Author
Ja, Magic Tracks OOB. Eigentlich richtig gut und nicht so'n elndes Gefummel wie z. B. Friuls... nur dass bei Gliedern ums Treibrad die Führungszähne individuell angeklebt werden müssen, fand ich erst mal Blödsinn - bis sich rausstellt dass die Führungszähne der M.Tr. nicht ins Treibrad passen 😛

Ready for painting! Since it's supposed to be a very late war (what if...) vehicle I left or will leaf some bits and bobs off the Panther...let's say the factory suffered a shortage of certain items: all gun cleaning equipment, the jack, all spare track links and the front fenders incl. the head light.

Now I wonder what scheme to paint on...

Kim Branders

Andreas Koziol
Beautiful camo and nice job! 👍

Rui S
Yes, i agree with Andreas 👍.

Sebastian Meyner Author
Thanks mates! However it's not quiet done yet 😉 I still have to finish the weathering (..."wash" the hull of the weathering solution I use), add some dust/dirt to it and maybe a commander. Let's see

Patrick Hagelstein
Me like! 👍 Really cool to see the relaxed state the figure has.

Patrick Hagelstein
Did that figure come with the kit or is it aftermarket?

Sebastian Meyner Author
Thanks Patrick 🙂 No, the figure is from Alpine Miniatures. Check them out, they have the most relaxed tank crew members 😉

I only wish my painting skills would do them more justice...

Patrick Hagelstein
😄 Thanks! I think you did a really good job already. 👍

Sebastian Meyner Author
Thanks again mate 👍

Rui S
Very Nice figure painting 👍

Sebastian Meyner Author
Thanks Ruis! 🙂 I try my best but I'm not quiet there yet.

Sebastian Meyner Author
I call that one done! ....so, what's next? 🙂

Holger Kranich
Feines Pantherchen!

Patrick Hagelstein
Kann ich nur unterschreiben!.... 👍

Neuling
Clean build and cool tanker!

Thomas K.
very nice 👍

Sebastian Meyner Author
Thanks guys! If it appears 'clean' I reached my goal 👍 It's supposed to be a newish vehicle - the crew was only able to scrub of the rather poor paint job wherever they stepped or dragged stuff across.

Lee Fogel
It's a marvelous build, Sebastian!

Sebastian Meyner Author
Thanks Lee, much appreciated!

Patrick Hagelstein
Good point Sebastian, World War II only lasted 6 years in total and a lot of stuff was rushed in factory fresh and hadn't had the time to rust to a junkyard scrapheap before being knocked out, abandoned or simply superseded by better equipment. In my opinion a lot of WWII models look way too overweathered. I like yours very much though! 👍

Sebastian Meyner Author
You've got a good/valid point there Patrick 👍 Exactly right...even though I might have been guilty of over doing the weathering occasionally as well 😉

Patrick Hagelstein
Me too because it's just so much fun! 😉

Sebastian Meyner Author
🙂 👍
My own best example....:

Mr James
Lovely build. Kudos on the tankers pea dot camo.

Jan Peters
Great job all'round Sebastian 👍🏻

Sebastian Meyner Author
Thanks mates! 🙂 👍
