You really managed to turn this into a good-looking model!
I just got this gift myself and added greenstuff (or epoxy putty) zimmerit to try it out and ended up snapping the tracks in half when I tried to weld them together.
After some very thorough swearing I ordered a Panther Ausf. G/Late from Tamiya instead and now I'm not sure what to make of my Ausf. A.

You done a really great job Yev. I too purchased that kit as a first trip into armour. If mine turns out half as good I will be happy. Going back to you issue with the white tack. I vagually remember something about using this stuff and if you leave it on to long you can get staining. I have used it a couple of times myself (not my fav method of masking) and as soon as the paint had dried I took them off. Anyway well done she is a cracker :thumb2: :thumb2:

You should be proud of yourself. For a first model build, this is really well built and painted. Just think of what your builds of the future are going to look like. Model on and have fun!
