Small Scale Military Headquarters

How many of you were disappointed with the panther? This one may not be fully accurate but it sure beats nothing!

This looks cool.

But you need to paint those hatches off white .

Thanks for posting.

ah thanks for the tip, off-white it is then

Great modifications! First time I've seen someone around here add an interior of sorts to the Panther

Nice work,

I'm no rivet counter, but it looks good to me.

The inside of German tank hatches are not off-white. You have several options, but not off-white.

One is to paint the inside of the hatch with the base exterior color.

Another is to paint it with the two interior colors that were used during the war.

Elfenbein RAL 1001, which is kinda beige in color.

Graugrün RAL 7008, which is the darker, gray-green color.

Also in 1944, there was an order to leave the interior color in red primer, to speed up production.

quite right GD, and since it is a late model Panther, red primer would be my choice.

I guess I stand corrected

Paint the whole tank Pink! then you can have a true "Pink Panther"

Very cool bananapirate, how did you make the pictures for the inside??

The little map and posters and stuff I just drew on plain paper. In fact the entire interior is just painted card paper

You can't see it in the pics but I also added the inner section of the cannon (breech?)

Thats really good drawing bananapirate.

Thanks for the input guys

I might do my bbi Sherman next (would do my 21stC firefly but its diecast )
