Great job on a vintage panther kit

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Thanks mate :)

[@ultimatebucco3181]

Great review and build. Awesome camouflage. Yep, all about having fun! Take care.

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Thanks a lot mate! Yeah definitely, and although I struggled a bit with the zimmermit, had the setbacks with the fit and having to build the plate between the hull and sides it turned out alright😁 You too mate, see you on the next one👍🏻🫡

[@joseantoniocustodio7232]

Great happy builds! In the 1980s, ESCI upgraded the Panther tracks with link and length.

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Interesting! Ah darn, I just missed out on the upgrade, judging by the box the kit was from 1974 I believe! Thanks for watching👍🏻😁

[@Your_local_t90m]

nice

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Thanks👍🏻

[@Alan_Saund_Models]

Nice build a lot of work but looks fantastic... I will get some Tamiya weathering powders and give them a go👍

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Thanks very much mate. Yeah definitely recommend them, they are quite easy to apply and look good I recon👍🏻 Thanks for watching mate😁

[@marekfabis8575]

Nice but additional pattern on german's tanks and vehicles should be: olivegrun and redbrown!!!

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Thanks mate👍🏻 yeah those are the offical colours, although I’ve used the names for Vallejos equivalent to Olivegrun and Red Brown. Do you have a preference of brand/paint for the German tank colours?😁

[@marekfabis8575]

@@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits Germans tanks and vehicles WW ll colours you will find on the website: FEDERAL STANDARD COLOUR CHART- RAL, basic and additional from 1939 to 1945.

Looks horrible 😢

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Each to their own I suppose…how do your kits look?

@@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits better to use airbrush brother 😊

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

@@zanniromero9109 One day I will definitely get one, but at the moment I don’t have the time or money to set one up and go through the trying and failing stage haha.

[@zanniromero9109]

@@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits you can start with cheap airbrush just like me

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

@@zanniromero9109 Honestly I really enjoy just using a brush and I get results I am happy with. When I do try setting up an airbrush and all the extra stuff like flow improver, thinners and a spray booth along with simply learning how to get decent results with one, it won't be until sometime next year.
