In Manuel’s diorama “Waiting for Orders,” three Panthers from the Panzer Lehr Division wait for orders to counterattack the Allied landings on D-day. He built two Tamiya Panther Ausf As, adding Cavalier resin waffle-pattern Zimmerit and an Italeri Panther A with Zimmerit. All of the tanks have individual-link tracks, are marked with Archer transfers and decals, and crewed by figures from Italeri, MiniArt, Tamiya, and Warriors.
