France, Autumn 1944. I don't care for Allied tanks in WW2, but I do like the US Army uniform palette. And I like the German armor 3-color camo scheme. So this is a cherry-picking 1/35 diorama of stuff I'm interested in. Tamiya and DML Dragon US soldiers, and Italeri's 1993 Panther. The kit comes with optional Zimmerit panels, but I enjoy doing my own. I like the Panther's clean lines, and left off brackets, tow cables, tools, etc. that to me just add visual clutter. Likewise no markings or much weathering leaves the camo scheme intact. As usual I used craftstore acrylic paint, and for the first time in about 50 years, handbrushed everything. The picture framers made the frame too big (miscommunication on my part), so I cut a mat out of a pizza box to make up the difference.
