Practice Panther: the finished product

As promised, here are some pics of the Panther all finished.

So my justification for all this chipping and scratching is this is a survivor. The crew has been able to stay on the battlefield for month or two setting up and driving through dense woods, hence all the scratches from tree limbs and such.

In just about every reference picture I looked at there was at least one skirt panel missing so I had to cut one out.

And just for good measure I bent up the front fender a bit too.

Overall I'm very happy with it. I could have done a better job on the back exhaust but whose going to be looking at the back end anyway?

Most of the time we'll be seeing the business end.

This was a really fun build. I learned a lot in working through the techniques. I really liked how the airbrushing and chipping turned out. Apparently I'm better at that than I thought.

Thanks for stopping by. I plan on posting again soon so come back.
