When I am not riding Jagdpanzer 38 (t)s, reading about Fallschirmjägers, reading the history ALL the Tigers in the first three weeks of the Allied invasion of France…I build models of Panzers.
Here we have a Panzerkampfwagen V (Sd.Kfz.171) ‘Panther’ Ausf. G in the guise of not only one of the last Panthers produced by the MAN factory it was also one of the last Panthers that was equipped with the Bildawandler FG 1250 infra-red on a ‘Solution B’ on the commander’s cupola (being scratch built as we speak.).
This is just the first steps in weathering, notice the “cast” appearance of the cupola as well as streaking.
