A Panther G model tank with distinctive diagonal stripped camouflage was built according to the picture.
Materials. Tamiya German Panther Type G 1/48 Military Miniature Series No.20, Tamiya Models 1/48 German Infantry on Maneuvers Model Kit, and Tamiya 32512 1/48 WWII German Infantry Set. Tamiya Color XF60, XF64, XF65.
Methods. The Panther was assembled according to the instruction and was air brushed with matt black as basic color. Later the Panther was air brushed with Tamiya XF60 as basic color. The 3M tapes were teared by hand randomly and were applied to the XF60 air brushed Panther as the distictive diagnonal stripped camouflage. The Panther was air brushed with Tamiya XF60 and then XF64. The 3M tapes were teared off from the Panther by hand after the air brush was completed. The tracks were not painted with color but applied with shoe polish with teeth brush. The Panther was also applied with shoe polish to increase the metal effect. The tracks and wheels were applied with dry coffee ground mixed with diluted white glue. The figures were cut and remodeled according to the picture and painted with Tamiy XF1 and XF65. The foam board was cut as circle shape and was applied with dry coffee ground mixed with diluted white glue as diorama. The whole diarama was not yet completed and still had much to be improved.
