This Dragon kit has been chosen to reproduce a late Panther unit because of its overall quality and moderate price. The kit includes an adequate photo etched sheet that will help us even more when reproducing the finer details. The plastic pieces are assembled without problems or major issues, bearing always in mind those pieces that will eventually be substituted for other ones or refined in some way. I fixed the excessive symmetry of the armored vehicle by substituting one of the steel wheels for one of the old ones with the rubber band around it. This is basically it for this section, so I invite you to bear with me while you follow the assembly and painting stages that come next. We've chosen to decorate this late Panther unit using a rather curious light camouflage scheme. The camouflage spots are well defined and their edges are pretty well defined as well. This pattern creates in some areas some thin color threads of the original base color between the camouflage spots. In order to reproduce this we will have to prepare well our airbrush kit, cleansing it to perfection and doing some previous color tests on a piece of paper before touching the camouflaged surfaces of the kit. I don't want to give lengthy explanations here so I've chosen to show the process on the pictures and the captions underneath in the pages that follow.
