Hi Jurgen

Great job on your turret zimmerit! Our Panthers are in the same Division. :D

The Panzers and the Battle of Normandy is still one of my favorite books in the collection.

Look forward to watching your model come together.

kind regards
Tim

Hi Tim. Thank you for your reaction. My Panther have your excelent Exhaust Fan Guards. I am looking for all your project (including your "shipyard"). You are for me one of the "guru" in 1/6 modeling. Jurgen

Hi Jurgen,

Love watching others work on their Panthers.

Nice work there with your new toy. 3D program/printers can take our hobby to a completly new level.
