Hi Simon,

Your weathering skills are beautiful, you are a master!
The mig pigments that you are using do you airbrush that on the tank?

regards Yves

Simon,
Those are some really nice looking pipes! Wow fine job! I like how you rust pit the paint, it looks absolutely real.
Kind regards,
Bob

Hi Simon,

Is this some sort of hybrid you're creating as I've noticed you've put some zim on the mudguard :?: An Ausf G with Chin definately has no zim :wink:

Also are you leaving the main body of your Panther in Oxide Red or are you going to paint the too :?:

One more question regarding your excellent exhaust fans, are they going to rotate when the smoker is switched on :?:

Thanks Antony
