On Cobi's Facebook page; Somehow it looks good, best Panther attempt yet from Cobi I like the ausf A slanted rear hull piece above the wheel at the back That new commanders hatch is fantastic offcourse I don't know if they changed something in comparrison with other Panthers, but i like the frontal glacis, not bad at all This time they did some rear stowage bins if i see correctly Overall a very nice looking set, i like it ( in original cobi style that is ) I would moc the whole thing, but that is something different

At first i thought they finally discarded the black color of the hull base, because it looked like it was white.....but at second sight i see black at the bottom base structure of the hull
If i would like to see something in the future on all cobi models it would be this.... Please make it in the same color as the upper hull, and get rid of the dreadfull black!!!

I kind of see you point about the bottom of the hulls needing to be the same color as the top, but that's probably a play-value decision. It's probably more appealing for a set to have at least a couple different colored bricks in it as opposed to a big box of green bricks.
Personally I hope they keep it. For most vehicles it adds a bit of "shadow" to the bottom of the vehicle. I feel like if the tanks were a uniform color they'd look even more toy-like.

Yeah, i guess that's the mean reason indeed... I understand your motivations too, as a matter of fact For me personally, i'm always persuing historical accuracy as best as possible in bricks but i get your thought as it will look more like toys maybe Another reason for me if cobi did a uni colored hull i have a lot more parts i can use for mocs! I have a lot of black bricks i can't use, only for inside structure building fill up

Somehow it looks good, best Panther attempt yet from Cobi I don't know if they changed something in comparrison with other Panthers, but i like the frontal glacis, not bad at all There is an interresting design change compared to previous Panther models: Cobi changed the construction of the armour on the gun barrel mount, which is now a bit "thicker". Also they used an upside down mounted 6-wide tile beneath this gun barrel mount, probably to prevent a space of 1 plate height between the turret and the tank body (On the Warsaw Uprising and grey WoT Panther you have this space at the front of the turret) Also I agree with Deinonychus: Although it leeds to a lot of unused black pieces in my spare bricks collection, if the bottom of the tanks would not be black anymore, it would look more toylike ...

BF110 wing line is wrong, but a minor problem in comparison with P38 wing.

This is the one, Bf110 Unit: 5./ZG 1 "Wespe" Serial: G9+IN (W.Nr.4277) Russia. October, 1942 It has to be a lot thinner and a longer tail, but for the rest very nicely done Indeed the wing has the wrong shape at the frontal angles, but got to say that it is hard to make any plane's wings in the right angles with the existing cobi slanted tiles.... Don't know about the camo, but it certainly looks cool this way I think Overall an impressive set and a great moc-object

I think this camo sceme would have been a safer choice; But that is not really far of, just make the total wings and the top of the fuselage in that dark grey and grey and mix the rest of the fuselage in that whitish grey and grey and you're there...

It's bad in the tile that protruding brick in the exact place where to add the svastikas...or a little decal, or add it on the upper side of the rudder.

Nice one, if only the tail would be at least 4 studs longer...
