Deadly foe in the Bocage Part one Early Panther A

Hello Chaps. Well because my Tanks and landing craft are taking a while to put together. I thought i would start a build blog on some German stuff. Good for me so i can build some thing that is not a Sherman. I so do love the Panther Tank. Even the Panther D. Of all the Panthers the early panther A is my favourite. Ok the Panther above is one in Italy but it is the type i am building . The were quite a few of this type of Panther In the Normandy fighting. The will be other Blogs. Part two and so on , for other German tanks in Normandy. This will not be a Quick build. There will be figures. For those who do not know what the Bocage was. It was ancient hedgerow. High enbankment filled with stone with hedgerow and tree growing on them. Pictures below. Not easy to fight in.. I will post the Model kit tomorrow along with some of the After market stuff i am using.
