Custom Panther

I can't take credit for this one other than I added the spare road wheels and antenna mast. A semi-local gentleman does these for fun and then offers them for resale. I can't vouch for the paint scheme or colors to be accurate but since most photos are black and white and surely many Panthers went undocumented, I guess it's possible?

And a couple more tanks from the same source. The one is an FOV version and could use an antenna and some accessories. Again, the schemes look like they're out of his imagination but could have existed I guess. The Kubel was that first attempt I made at a winter scheme with a dirty-up. Wasn't all that pleased with the results. A closed top would make more sense. It was a spare with some flaws so what the heck.... Took advantage of another rare sunny winter day with sunshine coming through the front window onto the neutral colored carpet so I didn't have to use the stupid flash.

Beautiful Panther, I just recently bought one on eBay still in the box (21st Century) for $100 and free shipping. I just hope it arrives in one piece 🙂
