Well guys I've finished my Tamiya Panther Ausf A great fun to build I added friul tracks and a Aber grill set the ariel is a piece of fuse wire I used Humbrol paints on this the weathering i used pastels I Sprayed the whole tank in future and then for a nice touch i mixed up a small piece of brown chalk pastel , crushed it up in a jar added water then just chucked it over the tank then with a hard brush rubbed it into the tank this is my 1st tank in 23 years

Like it!
Similar to another post I've just made, you might like to think about a light gauge guitar string for your antennae. They don't bend like fuse wire cos they're springy. A .008" top E or a .015" B makes excellent antennae. Wolfie.

Very good tank ! Can anyone tell me how to stretch the rubber tracks on a 1/72 dragon king tiger 2 to avoid breaking the drive roller pips and getting some 'sag' into them? help!!
