Panther Ausf D, Kursk 1943

Built pretty much straight out of the box with minor improvements for the engine mesh and cables from Karaya. The model was undercoated with Hull Red before the actual 3-tone camo was applied. The entire model was given a wash of diluted yellow orche oils to "warm" up the tank. As this was to represent a fairly new Panther making its debut appearance at the Battle of Kursk in 1943, I restricted myself to only fairly light "chipping" to areas where the paint job were expected to wear off.

Weathering of the undercarriage was done with a mist of Humbrol thinner before "sprinkling" of the pigments. This resulted in the pigments clumping up together at random position giving the dirt a more scaled representation.

Completed projects

After much procrastination, I finally got down to taking some pictures of the models I completed within the months of August and September. Different color schemes and weathering techniques were used (some with disastrous results due to my own doing) for these models for myself to get warmed up. Will post more pictures once I get the camera battery recharged.
