1:35 German Panther Tank Model Kit by Alvin L.

This is my first tank, I started with a 1/35 Italeri Panther ausf. A kit. I decided to do a little diorama detail using the Tamiya German tank crew set which includes 2 figures, tools, ladder with a barrel and a well detailed engine.

The tank kit has an engine but it lacks detail so I went with the one from the Tamiya kit. I had an old pocket watch that I stole some parts from, along with a Detailmaster velocity stack on the engine. The armor that covers the tracks was scratch built from brass that was cut to match the plastic armor supplied in the kit. The antenna is guitar string.

Tamiya paints were custom mixed and sprayed through my Iwata airbrush. The mud on the tracks is baking soda mixed with Elmer's glue. The weathering was done with some dry brush techniques and using Tamiya weathering pastels. Some Rustall was used on different parts of the tank.
