Here's the old Tamiya Panther Ausf.A. I started it a few months back. I closed off the open underside, added wire handles, drilled out the exhaust, and replaced the tow cobles with picture frame wire. I kept the end of the cables and drilled them out to take the wire.
I gave it a primer coat and preshaded with Model Master enamel Burnt Umber #2005. the base coat is also MM enamels. I used MM Afrika Braun #2102 for this.
Here's the paint scheme I want to finsih it in. It's from a Panther in the Grossdeutschland Div.
