Refference: Garireo shuppan "Ground power june 2009 expansion Panther D"
Geibunsha "AFV modelling guide3 Panther"
Namiki shobo "German soldiers of world war two"
This model is based on Dragon,s kit titled "premium editon", which includes parts
like gunbarrel made by alminum, photo etched parts ,and that sort of them.
but I also used photo-etched parts from Aber to make toolholders and fenders.
Tracks were also included in the kit. the track was named "Magic track" each detail of track is accurate, and considering the cost,
this track is not inferior to that of Modelkasten.
The muzzle of MG34 machinegun on the front is already opened. question is, is panther D realy carried normal MG34, which has more
cooling holes compared to that of other tanks machineguns.

Silencer is painted as if it had been rusted by heat (painted by pastel), and got dirty by smoke and oil.
Antenna is not attached due to lack of space.
