Panther Ausf. G late prod. in Berlin

hi guys
so this will be the final reveal of my entry in the Dangerous Cat sig
the scene should depict the Befehls Panther from the Müncheberge divisions IR platoon during the Battle of Berlin in April and May of 1945
i am not sure if everything is accurate since there is not very much known about these IR Panthers
things like numbers and deployment are almost non existing but i found 1 photo showing a Panther from this unit wich is supossed to be in Berlin and it looked like it has the number 100 on the turret aswell as the 3 antenna's found on Befehlf Panthers

so here is the finished diorama

it has been good fun making this diorama and i think i shared all the things i came across during the build
so i hope you like it and untill next time
cheers Mark

Really like the camo on the tank

Dio looks great to.
Only thing is I think it could use a little more dirt / dust. Oh, and I think the street light can never stand up straight, after being hit by a falling wall

(but that's me being a whiner

)

Anyway, a great build, as usual from you

Thanks
You are right with the streetlight but it is resin so i couldn't bend it that far without breaking it

Thank you very much Andy
But you know your way around scratch building your self
As for me there is still a lot to learn when it comes to diorama building
This was one of the first bigger dio's i made and it seems things like planning your actions are important (who could have guessed)
So i hope this is a starting point and i will inprove my skills along the way
Thanks for watching
Cheers Mark
