Cool! Are you in Massachusetts? I went to a model show in Gloucester and I remember seeing this exact tank.

Bill Spargo
Fantastic job, really impressive finish, well done.

Alan Rush
Nice! I like the weathering and chipping, especially the damaged zimmerit on the right front that damaged the cross with it. The decals settled into the zimmerit nicely too.

Mike K
Incredible work. Very well done.

Kim Branders
Nice work you did there G.

Ulf Petersen

Vorya hidaryan

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I really appreciate them! The decals are dry transfers from Archer. The kit decals wouldn't settle into the zimmerit at all. The zimmerit is hand-applied with milliput and the trumpeter zimmerit tool. It was a complete pain, but I think it turned out nicely. Thanks again! Oh, and Brandon, no I'm not from Massachusetts. I've never been to any shows either. I just tinker in my basement. 🙂

For the Decals try: decal solvent from testors/modelmaster. It "sucks" the decal on to the surface.

Thanks! I tried the modelmaster decal solvent and it didn't really help. The decals in this kit seemed pretty thick and stiff. I didn't end up using any of them.

Soak the surface gently. A very thin Layer won't do. And wait a few hours.
It didn't work for me for the first time. Keep experimenting.

Is this exact tank really well known? The one I saw looked exactly like yours. No differences from what I remember.

It's known, yes. Not a famous Wittman or Barkmann tank, but it shows up in several photos of Normandy and the Bulge. See here. http://www.network54.com/Forum/47207/thread/1128661608/Likely+fate+of+Pz+Lehr's+Panther+%26quot%3B200%26quot%3B
