Hello,

Here is the Ferdinand Tiger (Porsche).  This model I built is the only Ferdinand Tiger saw action on the Eastern front.  However it was never fired but used for command version.  Later it was captured and destroyed.  I hope you like

Yes... the Photo Etch is too flat so it is not realistic.  I used mesh to build it so its more to scale

Brother JoeKo,

If I win a million dollars I will stop building and start buying commission.  That way I can have so many nice model in my collection!

Brother Joe,

That iscalled Panther D with bolted on Panzer IV H turret.  It is the early panther version.  The turret does not rotate but served as command vehicle.  Not much information is on this perticular armor.



I'm thinking about building it for long time but never got around to it.  I'm very interested in more information on this tank.  If anyone know more, please let me know.

Brother Louisuni,

I like prototypes very much.  I also llike bergepanzer too.  Usually on the heavier chassis such as V, VI, VII.  I espcially like the Ferdinand chassis.

Unfortunately my interest in model is so diverse (I like auto, AFV, robots, figures,)  I don't build as fast as I like to.  Maybe one day I will get to all of them....hopefully.

QF

By the way,  This is the tank I modeled after.  I usually check reference as much as possible when I build AFV.  I think I carry the same "problem" when I build zaku or sci-fi models haha...



Brother Joe,

The zimmerit is by Cavalier.  I usually don't scratch build unless there are no parts available (I have no patience )

Thank you very much  Brother L,

I knew both of the above AFVs.  One of my friend is currently building the Panther F turret one.  I'm very interested in the Panther F turret version, however it is a big job to build.   The DML panther F's version's measurement is incorrect (too big).  So the turret must be scratch build.

Here's the correct measurement:





I'm hoping to build the Panther D with Panzer IV H turret in the near future.  Right now I'm seriously behind on the figure painting.  I'm suppose to paint the figures for Tamiya Horch, "dog" pilots, and figures for this Ferdinand Tiger.  I keep on putting it off because it is very time consuming to paint figures... no patience right now

Yes that is the one Brother L.  I think it look must more sleek because its got a big chassis.  I have the kit to build but I still need to buy the Fruil tracks.  Hopefully by the end of this year I will finish building it.
