Jagdpanther Late
By: Thomas Kelm
Manufacturer(s): Revell
Modifications: I made some Fenders from plastiksheet, all the handels were made from cooper and silver wire. The cover of the Airouttake was made from thin cooper.
Description: The modell shows a late Jagdpanther somewhere in Germany, it was inspired by the 1:16 Modell by Robert Doepp (Tamiya). It was brushed with Tamiya Arcyls, washed with Mig Wash, powdered with Mig Pigments. The Decals are from Archer. The Figurines are from Preiser with Cooper wire and some PE rests, painted with Arcylics!
- Judge 1
- Very impressive etch detail on the engine deck etc, only let down by the alignment of the tracks & flame suppressor on one of the exhausts. The base green is a little bland & could have done with some pin washes, the scratches help though. The camo & weathering are well done and the decals are applied well too. Highlights are the wood grain finish on all the tools & metallic dry brushing on the tracks etc.
- Judge 2
- excellent building with a very good use of PE parts; only some little problems on the tracks alignment. Painting is well done with brush but general look lack of shading; some wash and pinwash with a good drybrush stege, could improve the final look
- Judge 3
- Generally an excellent build (notably the many photoetched parts that have been very carefully applied). It's a shame that the left rear track is crooked. The paint scheme is both interesting and has been well done, although some of the scratches look a little too random in their placement. Some more shading around the details, a darker pin wash for example, would further improve the finish.
