Just picked up Soviet Captured Panther (1 Viewer)

[RedBaron]

I just received my first HB piece and must say it is a beauty!!! If all HB pieces are as great as this piece I am goint have to track some more pieces for the collection!

 

[Shannon Reuss]

And the scale is exact. I was in their studio once and Gabriel Mileto, the vehicle sculptor called me over to where he was working, unrolled blueprints of the WWII vehicles he was working on, and then set the model on the blueprints. It was exact ^&cool. I so wish the lousy Argentine economy had swung to the good and they could have kept making vehicles. They were amazing.
Enjoy your Panther RedBaron!
Best regards,

Thanks Shannon!

Let's hope the economy gets better so HB can release some future gems!

Great first buy. They simply are the best AFV's that the hobby has seen or will. I know its subjective but, they are sublime. I hope you get more you definately want to get a Bergpanther excellent release which, we probably won't see again

Mitch talked so highly of HB i had to buy at least one --and he was right the best so far made i do believe.MIke B. Congrats on your new acquisition.:wink2:

 

[RedBaron]

Thanks guys!

The HB armour in general and the Panther in particular are superb. I count myself fortunate that I have one of the "Barkmann" Panthers (loading ammunition) and the "winter" version. Lovely models

The figures Frank used are a set by HB of the tank crew abandoning their tank. It may still be available?

Suprb group of pictures, Frank. Love the winter Panther scene. Just cold and bleak looking. -- Al

I still think that HB made the very best vehicles. I treasure my HB M4A1 winter sherman. The detail was second to none at the time, and still is as good as anything on the market.
