This image gallery will feature the real stuff in closeup details. I hope this area can be helpful to any modeller that may require these walk-around details for their modelling projects.

To reduce loading times, every page would have only maximum 15 entries per page. Any loose quantity photos that I have from either my personal collection or thru friends would be compiled into a separate PHOTO SCRAPBOOK segment. And for subjects which I have more than 30 photos each, I would put them into another separate SPECIAL FOCUS segment.

Enjoy the images!

This Panther weighed 45 tons and mounted the lethal 75 mm high velocity gun. This tank was probably the most outstanding German tank design during the second World War. In fact, the Allies were very keen in capturing and investigating intact Panthers for research.

The British Army even asked MNH tank factory to build extra vehicles for them after the war to be used in testing programme!
