Model: Panther Ausf. A Brand: Tamiya Scale: 1/35 Subject: Tank

Contents of the box

The content of the box really isn't that much, It all fits together pretty decent, not that much sinkholes and some flash. But heay nothing to complain about for 20 euros.

After two days of building, it looks like this.

The barrel was really 'great' to work on, uneven halfs but after a few hours of sanding I got it round.

I added some extra detail with copper wire instead of the styrene handles supplied with the kit.

Update 1

I have drilled out the exhausts and air intakes and added the seperators in the exhaust tubes like on the picture.

Reference: Strijdbewijs.nl

However I didn't have my reference pictures with me where i was working on the model and also added the deviders to the air intakes. Lateron I removed those.

I have added the mesh myself, cut it out of a fine filter.

The viewport on the real thing

The viewport on the model, wich wasn't really the same so i added some styrene sheets.

And tried to make it look the same as much as possible

I also tried to close the open viewports on the rest of the tank with little pieces of styrene.

I still need to post new pictures of this project, i'll try to do so asap.
