Will do that, spent 15 mins on my hands and knees today after I dropped a tiny part on the floor, it went straight but found it under the chair, getting to old to be crawling on the floor.

Re: PANZER V / PANTHER
Finely got a coat of colour on this one only going with two colours on it Dark Yellow XF-60 and Dark Green XF-61 no brown this time.
Oh this one should have a coat of Zimmerit paste on it, one has to use a putty and saw blade to put it on the model, I know I would of buggered it up trying to do it pullinghair so no Zimmerit on this one. yes!
The Zimmerit coating was put on Tanks to stop Magnetic mines from been put on the Tanks, half the time it fell off the tank or was knocked off or would catch fire as shell hit the side of the tanks.

Thank's sandboarder, I noticed in the photo that the strip on the turret match the top of the hull don't know how I did that as I painted the turret first then the hull 10 mins later.
