Re: HL Panther rework
Did someone use the word tenacious? In spades here. Great work.
Re: HL Panther rework
Hi Thanks When i think i am getting somewhere another little fix pops up. Next stage some chain work, on one side.
Re: HL Panther rework
Found some chain , one side done. Don't like the track holder pins , might be on the thin side. Paint may make them look better.
Re: HL Panther rework
Casting numbers on crew heater and fixed grills on fans, like the 3D effect on the wire. Wish Aber would do them ,think they look better than the PE flat ones. A pain trying to cut a circle on the mesh as its interwoven , and some wire falls out at the edges.
Re: HL Panther rework
Resizing the covers at rear of engine hatch. Using the Trumpeter kit to check size ,HL ones are undersized.
Re: HL Panther rework
Done enough, time for a respray. Hope the masking up works will save making more paint masks.
Re: HL Panther rework
Another paint , a little rough but its a HL . A bit bright , will need lots of light washes and some touching up. Looking for a dusty tank.
Re: HL Panther rework
Looks nice..
Re: HL Panther rework
Thanks jhamn All went well until the red brown went on , airbrush started to play up . Trigger for paint flow erratic. Might do the brown again , not happy with the finish. Stripped down airbrush and it needed a deep clean , so much for cleaning needle ,cup and outer cone inside and out. The inner cone assembly needed a soak in airbrush cleaner to remove some gunge Need to do one set of side skirts again ,painted the hull red strip under the overlap on wrong side.
Re: HL Panther rework
Another HL miss ,checked some details on my other kit. Wrong rain guard over gunsight. Another little fix and may as well do the brackets on LHS and casting line.
