Panzerkampfwagen V Panther

Wim van der Luijt could be me but that looks more like a mock up of a T-34 than a panther. The exhausts and angle of the rear plate, the cupola, the gun mantlet.....T-34

Bart Goesaert I do have the same idea as Wim, looks more like a wooden target/mock-up representing a t-34/76... Did a search on the picture, andcame across this: https://henk.fox3000.com/t34-2.htm

When scrolling down, you have 2 pics, and the caption is:

German T34 wooden Mock-up - (Dummy Tank)
This vehicle were by the Germans used for training and was mounted on a Polish TKS chassis

So these were used to learn how to attack a T-34

Rafael Lang that's right, you are correct! this first photo was the mock-up of the T-34 made by the Germans, the uploading of the photos didn't work very well here on the smartphone, I slept during the upload and I didn't see that the remaining photos failed! later I will upload via computer and all photos will go, including OKH plans for the panther attrappe (decoy tank)

Ken Kolenovsky I have a good supply of metal bits and Evergreen plastic. To cut the sections of metal, I have a REALLY small pipe cutter. The rest is just picking the right size according to the plans.

TD BARNETT Looks Great!

Scott Dutton Amazing work, you'd swearwasat least 35th scale not 48th, what incredible detail,skill and patience.

Olivier I spy with my little eye...

Ken Kolenovsky Thanks guys!

Wim van der Luijt That is very impressive! Looking forward to seeing it mounted on a Panther!

Marco Preto

William O. Wow sir, just wow! Your scratch building skills are amazing, the amount of patience it must take, do this kind of work at this scale, is mind boggling! Kudos and 2 thumbs up to you sir! I'm totally following your builds. Cheers, Willy

Logan Eden Good Morning, Ken That is a very nice looking kit. As you may not be aware, Tamiya makes this kit in 1/35 scale. You may want to pick a 1/35 scale up after you have practiced on this one. Catch Ya, Logan

Richmond Eugene - all you need to do is report them as doubles - to do that you press the + and then Actions - and then Doubles - its best to do this to both the items as it easier for the administrators to fix up if they can see both entries side by side. You can also go edit and change the numbers as well it will give you a waning but you can ignore and save.

Eugene Pels Richmond, I do report them as double, but I learned (and got the advice from another member) that adding a comment about the what and why helps. Only reporting a double resulted in no action at all in the past, adding a comment resulted in the removal of (if I remember correctly) 9 doubles (!) a couple of weeks ago (and even adding a comment doesn't guarantee the removal of doubles, cause there are still a couple pending).
So thank you for the advice, I will report them both in the future, but I already knew all the other moves that you suggest, and didn't get the desired results when applied....

Richmond Eugene - I think the shear number of doubles are very difficult for the volunteer administrators to handle - I have recently been reviewing PONTOS and must have reported nearly 100 just on that company alone. I have requested, through feature requests, that when someone reports a double that the entry is highlighted this would prevent the same double being reported over and over again and it would also give some confidence to all Scalemates that the system was aware of the double and something is being done or will be done. For your information here is the link to all the reported doubles SCM Newsfeed

By the way it takes time to keep loading there are so many - the list goes on for ever.

Tim Heimer I thought you mostly did sci-fi, guess I was wrong. LOL Nice project, they do have challenging camo's.
