mpk Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 This is the 1st kit I was able to begin and follow through until completion. I always wanted to build a panther since seeing the The bridges at Toko-ri movie as a child. I recall having many problems with the decal sheet. I cannot recall the brand now. There is a resin ejection sheet and Quickboost antennas and pitot. This aeroplane completed around 400 missions and was one of the first into the conflict. I weathered it heavily to help match the photo I had. It is hard to see but there is shading thanks to pastels. mgbooyv8, coogrfan, LSP_K2 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Very nice model. Blue is difficult to render realistically. BTW I shake a bit when cutting out vac canopies. LSP_K2 and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre F-86 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I've always wanted to build a Panther. I have decals in 48th for Blue Tailed Fly and have a couple of the Monogram kits in the stash. Having seen the Bridges at Toko Ri, I have a hankering to do one of Brubaker ditching like he did in the early part of the film. Gonna call it Swimming Lessons in the Sea of Japan if I ever get off my arse and do it. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Thank you all. The panther is such a lovely aircraft, I'd have been foolish to mess it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
