Building the pantherwreck Vol.1

It won't be easy project...Some of CMK resin parts are crooked. Body is schrinked and doesn't fit the Revell plastic part. FIlling tubes are in very inconvenient places so there are some troubles to cut them right.

Pantherwreck is coming...
I cut the upper armor and gave some details using plastic sheet.

 I created burnout wheels using sharp knife and sandpaper.

Photo-eteched elements from Eduard improved model into Ausf.D version. I addes also some scratch details.

The woodbase need more support sticks before fixing the foam. I used spikes and cut them heads.
