It is a dragon Model’s smart kit panther. Built from April to July 2009.
I’ll make the steel wheel version of the Panther G type.

Removing the parting line of the trank rollers was challenging work. When I made Jagdpanther, there was a large gap between the rear and upper armor. I will adjust all the panels at once to avoid any gaps.

You can assemble the upper part of the engine room in various versions. I hear that one step higher, the rounder fan established the warm air heater unit in November 1944.

I suppose the hook of a spare caterpillar might not be a metal part.

I’m installing the caterpillar. The caterpillar doesn’t neatly fit the teeth of the driving wheel if we do not use parts (magic track and runner parts) as directed by the instruction manual. I put the sign on runner parts with oily magic as understood when uniting them.

Assemble completed. I could connect the upper and lower parts without trouble this time.

The installation of a spare caterpillar on the bodyside was complicated. A spare caterpillar on the turret was changed the number of sheets for a change. I enlarged the caterpillar’s hole and thinly the rack’s stopper because they didn’t fit well.

There are many valuations you can select from the combination of the muffler. I choose the square type.

The wire rope bent easily when annealing them with a gas burner.

I painted the whole body in dark green. It is like captured Panther by the Allied forces.

I painted a camouflage pattern in red-brown. It’s freehand.

I finished pasting decals and three-color camouflage. The decal quality of the dragon attachment is excellent. It’s Cartograf’s decal. It’s a highly complex font, but I could get the precise expression quickly with this decal.

At last, I finished up the must item of German tank fans, Panther G. There were a lot of malfunctions in the D type that was an initial version. The G type obtains the appraisal of the masterpiece tank that balance of offense and defense is excellent.
Since the Jagdpanther I made before is opposite to the direction of the caterpillar, I’m afraid one of them was misplaced. Each of them has no problem concerning the instructions. Maybe the instruction has a mistake…
I saw the actual AFV photograph in action. Jagdpanther’s caterpillar skid was M, and Panther was W. There might be various types.
There is a good-quality decal in this kit.
I have forgotten to depict the shine of the metal trank roller.
I felt this camouflage pattern is similar to the Japanese Imperial Army’s. Almost all German tank camouflage has gradation between two colors, but this one is not.
German tank crew. Before drawing, this figure closed eyes, but I drew eyes open by force. Too yellowish the hair and unnatural? Ummm…
Dark yellow is insufficient for the back of the body because there are many wire nets on the engine grill, which makes it challenging to brush painting.
May I take another tank soldier since there were a lot of hatches? It might be natural to make it dirty with lots of dust like this since the tank is quickly muddy and dusty when it runs even a short distance.
A Trank roller was painted to make change the colors of the graduation.
Anyway, the first Panther was completed.

The dragon’s kit title also commented, ” Steel Road Wheels. ” That’s an important point. I was anxious that I had not depicted a metallic feeling of the track roller and did dry brushing them after all. Did the atmosphere change a little? It is self-satisfaction.

I painted the handle of the hammer since I had forgotten.
