NeulingI agree with everyone above.
27. September, 08:42
IIBSWAT .Thanks Thomas, Rui and Spanjaard for your kind comments. There are parts of it I wish I'd done differently but overall I'm kind of happy. I did enjoy the Frankenstein nature of a tank that had changed over 2 years of fighting. The pics of it in a scrap yard, immediate post war, do give hints of winter white wash but overall it looks very tired and worn. I tried to match the wheel colour to the original and used a pic of another panther from the same unit as a basis for the use of wheels with a different bolt count (new and old wheel mix).
27. September, 08:43
TomGreat details and interesting historical background story
27. September, 08:46
IIBSWAT .Thanks Neuling and Tom for your comments. Yes Tom really interesting, it looks like a really early D with quite a few later changes so the thought that this tank might have been at Kursk and somehow managed to make it through the terrible late war battles and survive, is amazing. As soon as I saw the pic I knew I needed to model it (with a bit of historically based artistic license
)

OlivierRafael, I was not complaining or implying that You had done something wrong. But so many photographs found on internet have strange or wrong captions.
25. June, 20:07
Rafael Langyes yes, i understand you Oliver! but that one, to avoid further confusion, it is better to reorganize the text to a more informal and simple understanding!
I'm was looking in German / English dictionary, and the correct meaning for 'Parade' can be to: walk or march in public in an ostentatious or attention-seeking way.
here are one of the caption of the same photo sequences: ''Frankreich, Paris.- Parade der Waffen-SS-Division "LSSAH" (Leibstandarte-SS Adolf Hitler), Panzer IV vor dem Triumphbogen (Arc de Triomphe); SS-PK''
25. June, 20:37
OlivierRegarding photograph 21 there is something wrong with the name of the location. Bures sur Yvette is in the south west of Paris (23 km) but Bures and Arracourt are indeed in Meurthe et Moselle and approx. 360 km East of Paris. A US vs German tank battle happened there in September 1944.
25. June, 21:38
OlivierPicture 26 shows a very special and interesting camouflage pattern on the first Panther.
25. June, 21:40
Rafael LangOlivier, ok, I got it! so in that case the confusion was mine! because I even remember when I organized these photos of seeing the Bures sign (photo 13) and unintentionally made the link as if they were the same cities

R VGTake note modellers! Very revealing to see how clean these German tanks were. At least before they were engaged in any battle. All that mud, rust and chipping ..., not much of that is going on in these pictures.
26. April, 00:22
Rafael Langexactly that R VG, always appear that they had frequent and always very well done cleanings in the period between battles! I have also noticed this while reorganizing my photos collected over the years and publishing these albums!

David Walls@scalemates I just figured out I can send this to your attn, so I copied most of my old comment: i've uploaded instructions for this model (quite a few times...didn't see the private messages about verification), but they have not been added to the kit. Messages in the kit's news feed say update needs to be verified.
Is there an issue I can fix with the upload, or did something just go wrong with this one?
Thanks,
Dave

David WallsI tried two different files. Both are PDFs. One is scanned by me and is almost 33 MB, and the other I downloaded from RFM's website awhile ago. It is 52 MB (theirs is an unusual file in that text and instructional diagrams are sharp, but color call out images are really low res). I don't remember any errors messages when I uploaded them as it has been awhile now.
18. May, 00:45
David WallsProblem solved. It was file size. Since I tried it last year, I have a different scanner/printer and used higher compression settings. Much much much smaller file size (not even 7 MB) and it updated with no issues. Thanks for your help! Dave

29. April, 06:57
Urban GardiniYes, it's good to step outside the comfort zone and do something totally different once in a while. Those two was a great mojo boost for me last year as I after that built my F-111A in just about three weeks time. A frigging lightning speed build on my part as I'm a slow builder. But out of the four builds that I did finish last year only one was inside my comfort zone.

Bart GoesaertI 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
28. March, 08:07
Rafael Langthat'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)
