Edwardkenway Posted November 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) So I finally gave in and entered the realm of 1:35 armour, this is an unknown path for me apart from the failed card Sherman earlier this year. What I do may not always be historically correct but I plan to enjoy what I do. So of the three kits I bought for less than £40 for all three I'm starting with the tank as I'm basing it in the europe theatre I'm basing everything in tamiya german grey more to come.

Egilman Posted November 9, 2020 Share #7 Posted November 9, 2020 All three for only 40 quid? that's a good price my friend...... That's actually a very good kit for a first time armor builder, good details and wide variation in paint and markings, Panthers were everywhere except Africa.... As your first foray into the mud hog world, you couldn't get a better set of kits..... I'm sure the crew will be here in case you have any questions, it is a pretty straightforward build.....

Egilman Posted November 11, 2020 Share #26 Posted November 11, 2020 Yep there probably would be some grey on it, but understand that by that date most came from the factory in sand yellow and the greys and browns were applied in the field.... just being technically accurate.... It would have to be a very early Panther to be issued in Grey.... But with an airbrush, it will make little difference.... Nice work so far my friend...
