crobinsonh Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Great progress. Fisher is really a "Tamiya" of resin kits along with Aki. So easy to build and always look great. Dukie99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 This is the home stretch, I have applied a final varnish coat of Alclad Light Sheen on the airframe and I am getting all the final pieces ready for assembly. bombs have been lightly weathered using the salt technique (hard to see on the pictures) and the band mark has been painted: bang seat and transparencies and bits and bobs: Finals pictures soon.

Dukie99 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 2 hours ago, red Dog said: me too, good show David Always wanted to fold these wings Thanks Red Dog, this aircraft would look good with the folded wings but you need to be a brave soul to fold the wing on the Fisher kit: major surgery required and the wings plus the tip tanks are solid resin, so attaching them to the hinge point would be a challenge. I finished tonight without major hiccup and I am super happy with the result. This is a kit that was worth every penny. I will post pictures tomorrow.

Dukie99 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 As promised, final pictures of the Panther under a glorious sun. One of the best kits I ever built. I used the casted brass legs Paul produced two years ago and given the sheer weight of this aircraft, I don't regret the purchase. I encourage anyone who has this kit to build it, it is a serious treat. Cheers, David Uncarina, BradG, johncrow and 16 others 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Very nice. I have wanted to build this kit as I'm a Toko Ri movie fan but never got around to buying it. Now, unfortunately, probably never. You a lucky dog, in this regard. Sincerely, Mark Dukie99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
