About Me

My photo
I'm a UK based modeller, specialising in German and Commonwealth armour. I have worked on a commission basis for enthusiasts all over the world, created masters for one of the big 1/32 resin "ready made" model companies, and have recently helped out on some projects for Archer Fine Transfers and other 1/35 armour accessory companies. I build for myself - when I have time! - concentrating on Stugs, Pz IV's and UK and Commonwealth WW2 stuff. I also post my work on www.track-link.com, www.missing-lynx.com and www.warwheels.net. Please leave comments or questions on the blog or on any of the websites I post on. If you would like to contact me, just click on "view my complete profile" below for my email address. All the best, and thanks for visiting! Dave

Panther Ausf A, 1/Pz Regt 4, Florence, Italy

This is my DML Panther Ausf A "Premium Edition " built as "I13", a standard gun tank assigned to the Regimental HQ of 1/4 Panzer Regiment in Italy, summer 1944.  The pictures show the putty applied zimmerit, which I was at pains to get right, and the additional features added to replicate this particular tank. It's important to view photos of the actual vehicle you seek to reproduce, or at least ones very like it, to get an accurate result. In this case, "I13" had a tile pattern zimmerit, which in places was quite rough - especially the horizontal hatching, which wasn't very straight in places! The perfectly applied modellers solutions don't always reflect the rough and ready realities...
