A great model & great photography. Weathering is not overdone, just right.

What Al said...an overall job well done indeed

That is one beautiful Cat , great job all around . What did you use for the screens on the engine deck ?
Frank Cronin said on April 15, 2014
Darko, Very nicely done. I agree, the weathering looks great.

I especially like the photo of the rear deck. The mesh works well and the chipping and rusting around panel edges and engine acces look great.

Excellent - love the Panther.
Darko Simic said on April 16, 2014
Thanks for the comments 🙂 The idea was to do a subtle weathering because most of the ausf. D were lost very soon, so they did not have time to geat too beaten and weathered. The mesh was made using the plastic mesh bag of some cosmetic product.
