Torro Panther repaint
Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2018 10:51 am
I bought a Torro Panther along with a Tiger I for a pretty good price a while ago. Seller claimed that the Panther was metal but alas it wasn't (the Tiger did have metal tracks, hull and drive wheels so no complaints there).
Torro advertises it as being "airbrushed but it looks like it's been painted with a spraycan (drips and really thick paints) so I decided to repaint it. The camo looks way too dark at the moment, you can barely tell the green from the brown. Also bought metal tracks, drive wheels and hull to upgrade it. Electronics will remain stock for now.
I'm honestly not sure what I'm doing as it's been a while since I did any kind of modelling (did some very amateurish 1/35 scale 20-ish years ago) but we'll see how it goes. At least I have the internet now to look up tips and tricks
I'm just waiting on some photo-etched grills for the rear deck and then I'll probably start disassembling it and putting on the primer coat. This isn't going to be a 100% realistic build. If a colour is off, it's off. Not a stickler for details at the moment, I'm learning as I go
Picture of the stock thank and upgrades to start with:
