Nice. Of course it doesn't hurt that the Panther is one of my favorite tank designs of WWII, but either way, your's looks great.
I'm curious about the chain you have on the front of the tank. I have something similar on some of my 1:32 Abrams (what's the correct plural of Abrams, Abramses, Abrami?). Although I don't recall all the exact numbers at the moment, I remember when I got it spending a fair amount of time measuring it, converting it to scale dimensions, researching chain weights and capacities, and finally deciding that, while it would be a bit heavy to drag around (the last thing I need is a bunch of my soldiers out on disability), it would be of sufficient strength for my Abrams to tow/drag other vehicles, up to and including another Abrams in a pinch.
Your chain looks to be the same, which would make it smaller in scale terms, any way you could maybe post a picture of a figure holding it in his hand so I/we could get an idea of what it looks like in the 1:18 world?
