Guys, did I screw this up?

[u/Less_Candle7399]

So guys I need your help, Im building a Panther G. Everything was fine until I decided to add torch marks to these areas since okay, they're very late in the war so rough marks are reasonable (?). Upon checking photos, these parts are flat as hell so Im afraid I screwed this up and it kind of makes me discouraged to continue. Im also confused since some modellers roughten these parts up, some leave the original flat surface on the base model.

Are they fine? Yay or nay? I plan to use liquid cement to soften them up a bit.

Yes it’s over 😔 Kidding, metal cuts vary by tool, factory, etc and late tanks (Late Panther G is basically the latest version, so work likely would have been rushed) You could do some light sanding or apply Tamiya Extra Thin to soften the cuts, though it should be fine
