Thank you again everyone for the kind words as well as the moral and technical support over the last two years. Thank you to Gill and Mark for producing such a fine kit and thank you to Mike Stannard, Steve Winstone, Dave Dibb and Robert Morey for superbly crafted, additional parts.

Here's some parting pictures of the Panther (at least until I get some proper outdoor photos and the completed cupola interior)

This Panther is meant to represent an early/mid production Ausf G attached to 1 SS Panzer Corps in the Orne valley during the summer of 1944.

Kind regards
Tim

Hi Tim, that's one outstanding Panther, a credit to your building skills and an inspiration to us all, if it looks that good against white walls, just imagine it lurking in the Orne Valley
regards
Jeff

Beautiful work Tim . This is the best 1/6 scale Panther I have seen so far . I can't wait to see your late Tiger 1 .. Do you have it yet . ??. Tim it would have been nice to have had my tiger and your Panther side by side in a photo shoot , that would have been cool .. Dale

Oh nice!

Eye candy for a Normandy era Panther-freak like me.

If my Panther turns out Â½ as good I will be more then happy.

So she is all done now?
Well in time as your Tiger is on its way Iâ€™ve heard.

Hi Tim,

Fantastic finish

I really like the foliage as well, a nice touch

. Your Panther will look superb outside but try not to get it too dirty as it look's so nice as it is

It really does belong in a museum with all the extra detail you have incorporated into an already fantastic kit. Well Done Tim

Once you get your Panther outside can you please take a few video clips of it running

It'll be nice to see it in motion.

Thanks Antony

Tim,

Superb looking model, you must be very proud of it.

Tim,
I'm out of words....even better than I expected! Hard to believe that is the same model I saw 2 years ago. Really fantastic job! One of the best Panther models I've seen - in any scale. Can't wait to see it run in real life. The periscopes are beautiful.

Now stop adding stuff so I can catch up!

Happy New Year!
Bob

Hey Tim, Absolutely positively outstanding! Now you need to get yourself a Tiger 1, a King Tiger, and a Pz111 so all of us tank nuts have somethig to look forward to for the next several years.

Tim,

Like the others, I am most impressed. You are an inspiration!

Your castings, are they metal or something else?

Thanks, -Brian
