Takom Panther G early

Started this last week. Zimm is molded on including in the lower hull. Evenly applied, no chipped off areas. Indy tracks that come with a jig to get the proper sag. Nothing exciting so far just the lower hull, road wheels, and tracks. Everything is just test fitted. No issues thus far. Going for the scheme below. Never tried it before so we’ll see how it goes. Thanks for looking.

Nice start and looks good.

Construction about 90% complete. Tow cables, MG mount, and a few other bits still need to be installed. Minimal PE, only for the screens on the engine deck. No clear parts for optics. Pretty much a trouble free build. Thanks for looking.

Nice build DV, but disappointing they don’t include any type of vision block for it …strange how some firms think.

There are vision blocks, just not clear. Strange though since their Sherman and Tiger kits do,

Got ya … I was just looking at the loaders side and couldn’t see one :+1:

So, I think I found something more mind numbing than assembling indy tracks. Punching out disks and applying them was time consuming and a real test of my patience. Disks were punched with a small hole punch that I bought at Hobby Lobby. Only the turret is done as I thought it would be easiest to strip if I screwed up. Pretty happy with it despite talking 3 days. Tell me what you think. Thanks for looking.
