Hello everyone. It has been a long while since I've added to the V-bench. I really haven't been building armor too much lately, but I think the bug has bitten me again.
Last summer (June 2008 I believe) I bought the DML Panther G smart kit, and put together the undercarriage and then left it sitting. I reopened the box last week and began to work on it in earnest. I hate to post a kit that has already been on here many times over, but it I'll be needing some help on the finish, so what better place to post the build than here?
Anyhow, this is where the kit is at right now
not much to say that hasn't been said many times before, other than wow! I had forgotten how much fun these smart-kits are to build.
I'm thinking of building the box top tank (yellow/green camo), and I'm curious if anybody has photos of the real vehicle, and if there are any particular field modifications that I should know about before proceeding.
Also, my LHS has started to import Vallejo paints, and I want to try them on this model. Which ones should I use? I've seen the equivalency charts, but I don't like the shades on Tamiya's dunkelgelb and green, so I was wondering that the brighter, shades that I've seen some of you on this site use, are.
That was wordy, sorry.
