Zimmerit is done! Finished off the main gun mantle and tank sides.

Nice! I like using PE but that's insane!

Question for all armor experts... this is a test fit of rear turrent plate to install. Is it suppose to look like that with small overhang on both sides? Or do I need to add putty to conform it?

Yes, the real tank had slight overhangs on both sides of the rear armor plate

Thank you for the photo reference. Now I can proceed with this Panther. All this time I thought it was a mold defect.

Thank you, Tom, I sure do appreciate that!
More pics of my first two tank builds. Along with my M41 Bulldog, there'll all I've done in the armor world.
