Jagdpanther (Early)

This is one of the two Jagdpanthers marketed by Revell (in Europe, the same kits are marketed in the USA under the DML label, and in Japan by Gunze Sangyo). This is the early model, which differentiates from the late one mainly in the gun mantlet, the one piece gun tube and the engine deck layout) The kit is quite good and accurate, and only needs some minor fixing. The zimmerit, quite characteristic of this particular version, was made with a thin layer of putty grabbed with a knife. The model was painted with Humbrol enamels.

The flatcar was built almost "out of the box" and painted with enamels. The more delicate step was to put the decals, and I recommend to use some softeners such as Microsol and Microset.
