Panther Ausf D - 1/72 done

To be included in a diorama...

New project - T-90

And my first modern tank. Zvezda did a great job with this one! I think maybe their best 1/72 tank yet, details are amazing. A kit like this deserves better tracks, and OKB Grigorov provides the right stuff. PE set from Armory ( though for the Modelcollect kit) and gun barrel from RB Models.

OKB Grigorov resin tracks

I received recently two sets of probably the best aftermarket resin tracks currently available. They are produced by OKB Grigorov from Bulgaria and released this year, if I’m correct. I have a Panzer IV Ausf. G from Dragon (1/72) and I wanted a pair of Winterketten under its road-wheels and nothing will do better than this set from OKB Grigorov. I also bough a set of early tracks for Panther, with Zvezda’s Ausf. D on my mind. Details on both these sets are breathtaking; the Panther tracks have hollow guide horns, and, to my knowledge, this was never achieved so far in Braille scale. OKB Grigorov supplies other superb track sets, and I will definitely buy more: Panzer III/IV (also with hollow guide horns), Ostketten, Panther late tracks, T34 etc.

I never worked with resin tracks, so I hope to find a way not to broke them.
