PzKpfw V Panther

I want to perform one of my beloved subjects – trophy panzer (see also Panzer III in Red Army service – http://ost-front.ru/en/portfolio/pzkpfw-iii-ausf-j ).

This Panther was captured by soviet troops and served in trophy company under command of captain Sotnikov, board number 513. The hull is still Dunkel Gelb color, while turret recently repainted in Soviet Green.

Zimmerit coating made with Tamiya polyester putty, which seems to be quite toxic dyring construction.

Notice that markings on turret are made with paintbrush with leaks of fresh white paint as well as leaks of Soviet Green on top of the hull under turret. On the rear you can see Red Brown prime cover with factory stencil markings. Sunflowers add a very special Russian spirit, so as tankhelmet with earphones.
