Here's the painted version - much better I believe. I am waiting on a few bits in the mail and then I can consider it done. It's been a fun project and it is a hoot to drive and shoot!!

Be well,
Steve

I've even got video of the process if you want to try stencils. You can get them on ebay for about 10 or 15 bucks.

Do you have a link of those stencils? Looks great!

Steve it looks so much better! Absolutely fantastic work

Here's a link to a set of stencils, Rad, but if you shop around you might find them for less.

Thanks Carl - I am much happier with it now.

Max - I ordered some stencils from your link - they didn't have a "G" model stencils so I emailed them.


Thanks all,
Steve

I think you'll like them, but make sure to watch the instructional video. I think they tell you where to find it with the stencils but if not I think a search for montex instruction video might work. I know they have a tutorial at their website.

After looking at my G model Panther the stencils for the Tiger 1 will work on it also. So 1 stencil to do 2 tanks. Thanks for the link.

Be well

Well not quite finished. I added an ibu2 pro to the tank, really spiffed up the sounds and performance! Then I decided I needed to paint the commander, add some boxes, netting, chain, and shells. The shells I was trying to figure out how to do them when it dawned on me that my 22 Hornet shells were awfully close so I added them. They really look pretty good I think.

That came out really nice Sir!

Thank you - it's not done yet. I have a rider I am building and he is currently getting some body work done - so maybe tomorrow

Be well,
Steve
