Panther Ausf.D Early Production

Izzy Khalid
ok .. lets do a WW2 tank ... a Panther Ausf D ... this is my first time building a Panther .... it is in braille scale ... about 80 + parts .. no PE and the DS tracks wish me luck ...

M.Julian Marles
will do. Is this all plastic or does it have a die cast hull?

Izzy Khalid
Hi Julian ... this is all plastic .. looks like a really fun build to me ... 😄

Izzy Khalid
ok .. looks like found the first gap .... hmm on a dragon ... hmmm

M.Julian Marles
My beob. panther has a gap as well....seeing as it's diecast I guess I will have to break out my DeWalt grinder 😛

Izzy Khalid
hahahah ... well mine will need putty 😄

Izzy Khalid

Izzy Khalid
ok .. progress looks good ... manage to get the running gear and the back of the hull ... stop here for today .. continue tmrw ... I may start to prime and put on base coat on the lower hull first ...

Izzy Khalid

M.Julian Marles
..thoughts on camo? or just plain yellow?

Izzy Khalid
yes with Camo ... trying to replicate as per boxart 😄

Kerry COX
Izzy, I don't know which I like better, either the cutting mat with all the paint all over it or the model it was meant to land on Ha Ha Ha (only jokin' mate). 🙂 Seriousl though, Dragon do make nice kits and so far you have really done well with it. 😉

Izzy Khalid
hahaha thx Kerry for the comment 😄

Izzy Khalid
ok .. second layer of base coat done on the lower hull .. at the same time work on the inner wheel of the panther ..... hmmm nice progress ... and i found a substitute for my humrol thinner ... zippo fluid ...
