This German Panther tank model from Rick Hoskinson features a Trident Panther A kit as the basis with a scratchbuilt gun barrel, Paul Heiser cast resin tracks, with anti magnetic paste applied and scribed in Tamiya putty. The tow cable was made from fine twisted copper wire. Etched brass fan and radiator screens were painted with Modelmasters paint and weathered with pastel chalks and powdered pigments, finished with TL decals. The tank commander figure is from Preiser.
