keine schlacht ohne Panther...

Just in time to squeeze another post in for February...

I like Panthers, as a matter of fact, i LOVE Panthers.

They're very pricey, they are arty & ambush magnet, they die first (at least in my games, damn M10s) but they are so good looking! I don't care if they take up alot of points, i don't care it's just too little for 'too much', it's just too damn cool to play with Panthers.

Panzer Lehr - Panzer IVs

I'm continuing to work on this wonderful division. I'm getting more and more intrigued by it. I'm at the point of buying all three books about it's commander Bayerlein.

The Panthers are 95% finished, only need some weathering and netting.

This is a Panzer IV platoon, the numbering is not quite correct as there was no 3.company fitted with Panzer IVs, but there are pictures of a Lehr Panzer IV with the numbers '333' so its all a bit strange. I numbered them before i found any good reference on the order of battle so it's too late anyway. Tbh, this is there 3rd paint job after stripping them 2 times with Aceton...

I got some help in photographing these tanks :-)


My son, he did well...
