Wow, that's just outstanding Jon!!!!
Great paint and weathering, the "snow" looks so believable; its not over done....just right!
That tow cable looks 100% better than the ones that came with 21's Panther..... :P The modified
exhaust on the rear of the Panther is a nice touch, just enough of a change from 21's.
The small details make a big difference....the pipe in the tank Commanders mouth changes
the character of that figure.
Great job Jon!

Thanks Guys, Thanks Normandy for noticing the little things. I have found its lots of little things that make a great model.

That tow cable came off a 1/16 tank. They can be bought on eBay sometimes, the metal ones are better but are not cheap.

I agree, the pipe really made him look better, it was a last minute thing I did that really added to it. I like all the old photos of German tankers with thier pipes in mouth rolling along. 8)
