I've begun my next project/vignette. Right now I'm undecided on how it's going to evolve, but it will include an Italeri Pzkpfw V Panther ausf D and a Dragon Sdkfz 250/1. I'll figure how it will go as I proceed.

OK, I made an error with the subject name. It should read Belgorod Staging. That's because the Panther will be attached to the 2nd SS Pz. Div., Das Reich, near Belgorod, Ukraine. The Panther kit was a relic that belonged to my friend, and some parts were missing so I definitely had to kitbash it. But I like the way its coming along. I've begun the tracks, but I won't attach them until the appropriate time. I feel like they are going to be like Lars' M109 Palladin, they are going to take a little time. Here are some WIP pics. Enjoy and as always all comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone. I hope everyone had a great 250th Independence Day. Unfortunately, for me I had a power outage due to all those storms. Luckily it lasted only 1 day and I had a generator, so I saved the food. Yaay. Also, the beer stayed cold. LOL! I've had family and friends over, so I haven't been able to do much work. But I finally started the tracks for the Panther D. Hopefully they'll get done soon.

Well the tracks are finished. Now its priming and base coat time.

y Something is going on with the site. Any who, I primed the Panther in the German dark red, then airbrushed it in a dark Yellow Ochre. That's because I was low on Dark Yellow and didn't want to use Desert Yellow. Besides it gave me some nice shadows. Next, I'll airbrush the Red Brown splotches for camouflage. Enjoy the pics and as always, all comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.
