Nice job done Rob, lower hull is taking shape slowly and surely! Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend!

I built this kit about a year ago and really enjoyed doing it. The only issue I had was the quality of some of the castings wasn’t all that good especially parts of the turret assembly. I’m currently finishing up Trumpeter’s 1/16 Jagdpanther and that’s a really great kit to build. The upper hull is almost all clear plastic so the interior is almost completely visible.

Thanks for the comment my friend it is a fantastic kit and really appreciate the heads up on the issues that jagdpanther looks a stunning kit and would love to build one myself look forward to seeing your progress

Lovely work, Rob. If I remember correctly, the first issue of this kit had transparent parts for the upper hull, and turret, I don't know if this one had though, Keep up the good work, my friend, take care.

Wee you make these look so easy 😅😅😅 I’d love to get this kit plus their Tiger 1 and the Panther G there’s another company does a 1/16th PnzrII I want one of those to you show of the difference three years of war gets you from a tiny PnzrII to the monster Tiger 1 and Panthers then a year later the King Tiger 🤓😎🤩 I think all four in a row with everything open for viewing ie top plates on stilts so you can see inside, I think that would be so cool 😍😍😍 maybe inside a big case to stop them getting to much dust inside them. I’d do a grass field vignette base for them to give a bit of interest to the base no bushes just static grass with variations in colour. But I think I’d have to win the lottery first as I’m on permanent disability 🥴🥴🥴 anyway your doing a stellar job sir so please keep up the great work… you are giving me some great ideas for my 1/35th interior kits that I have. I’m almost ready to put two Tiger 1’s initial and late, two Panther’s, a D and a G, the two King Tigers initial and late and a PnzrIII and PnzrII all on a base board of static grass in a line up all with exploded views using clear plastic rods to hold everything up for viewing you almost won’t see the rods as you’re looking inside… well that’s my hope anyway 🤪🤪🤪 I’m half way through most of the builds, all the interiors are done now on all the kits bar the PnzrII as I’ve only just got that kit but the others are waiting on there various camouflage schemes to be painted on but to save on paint I intend doing them all together 😋😂😅

Thanks so much for this wonderful comment really appreciated my friend sounds like you have been really busy like the idea of having the interior on show will definitely have to try it to nice idea of having some dioramas and will really show case your builds really sorry for late reply keep up the great work and if there’s anything I can do please ask

You take care to and enjoy your modelling as much as we love seeing it 😎🤩😍 seriously interesting and informative work so PLEASE keep it up 🙏🤞😁 yes I know I’m being extremely selfish but when you find someone as good as you you tend to want more… MUCH MORE 😁😁😁😅😅😅👍👍👍👍👍👍
