Both tracks are on and used a drop of crazy glue to get the proper track tension even though it mostly won't be seen. Also cleaning up tools and spare tracks. Managed to break off bow gun barrel in the process of installing the tracks.😕 Gary S.

Looks like a great show! If I was there, that A-20 would be in my stash. Gary S.

In the book "Band of Brothers", the guys said that when they went into Germany that they felt that they had more in common with the populace than with any other country. There's a really good Christmas WW II movie that's on UTUBE called "Silent Night". My great grandfather came from Hesse and...

Gear down and locked, weapons cold. Dark wash and white dry brushing done. Getting down to the wire. Gary S.

Great looking model. Gary S.

The painting is done and the ambush scheme is applied. I imagine that the guys that camped their tanks were just guys that just wanted to get the job done, go about their business of surviving the war and go home. Not some artsy fartsy modeler. l also took my razor saw and partially separated...

Heve ho! Gary S.

The upper and lower hulls are glued together. The fit was pretty good. Before gluing the hulls a small screen was glued inside of a small opening. I think it's an engine air intake. Gary S.

From what I understand, the earlier ones were a greenish gray on the lower surfaces and later were left in primmer color. Some were sent to the front in primmer allover or gray.

Welcome!! This is a place to spread your wings or wheels. Gary S.

First picture shows the massive size of the Panther's engine as compared to a 1/43rd scale GT 40 with a 427 engine. The engine is nicely done with most of it's detail unseen. Gary S.

Way cool !! Gary S.

This is what I found at Ollie's yesterday for $12.99 It's a rerelease of Aurora's M-46 in 1/48th scale which was released in the early 50's. This is how I want to paint it. Gary S.

Outstanding !! Gary S.

Final coat of dark yellow was brushed on including the road wheels. Also included is the Monogram kit built back in the 90's. It was my first tank model built as an adult. It's a Frankenstein D model. It had the older type of commander hatch that I scratch built the newer one. So it could be a...

Painted several coats of my custom mix of dark yellow made from craft paint. The engine hatch needs a second coat, the road wheels are yet to be painted and the tank needs a little touching up. Gary S.

The main components are painted. After looking at several pictures of restored Panthers and some reading, the colors are just a big SWAG. Gary S.
