discussion Pauls Tamiya Panther Ausf A, 1/35 scale

[PaulTRose]

im doing this for the GB

truely ancient Tamiya kit that was new tool back in the 60's in its powered toy guise and like this as a kit from the mid 70s but im still going to enjoy doing it, like Ron the age or pedigree of a kit dosnt bother me

not sure how far im going to go with it yet might keep it basic

Nice one Paul.

Paul, we'll fight the 'Beast from the East' together - see what I wrote there? Well, Far East, anyway. Topical or what?

Ron

 

[PaulTRose]

well that didnt take long!

to be fair as this is an older tamiya kit ther isnt that many parts in the box

ive added some ballast to the hull which also doubles as where i screw in my 'handle'

and with a Universal Unit of Size Comparison

next it will be a coat of dark yellow

nice start to this one Paul,looking good so far :smiling:

 

[spanner570]

Off to a flyer!
Nice one, Paul.
Not many parts for sure, but some nice moulded in detail, which sure makes for a quick build.

[papa 695]

Nice work Paul.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Good start Paul. The detail doesnt look bad for the age of the kit.

 

[PaulTRose]

decided to go for a simple dark yellow with green over camo

its been cleared ready for the decals and then a dark wash

 

[monica]

liking the look you got,:smiling:

 

[PaulTRose]

attached the road wheels, and working on the tracks now

whole thing had a black wash

not sure how to go with this, im actually leaning towards not doing much more other than a matt clear coat rather than over doing it with weathering

 

[spanner570]

Jeez Paul, you've nearly finished!
Looking well tidy....
