Re: Derf's Desk of Disasters
Blimey, it's been a long time since I was last on this bit.
I failed to finish my Grumman Panther during the XIX Blitzbau.
This was how it was at the end of my 24 hour stint;
Masked up for the Glossy Sea Blue
and with the GSB on
The white on the nose needs another coat. The guns need painting. Then decals. And after that the HVAR under the wings and the sliding canopy. oh.....and some seat belts, . . . . and . . . . . .

Re: Derf's Desk of Disasters
Nice one Fred and you can now finish it at your liesure. The Panther is a great looking early jet IMHO.

Re: Derf's Desk of Disasters
The Panther is finished
Work continues on the my Airfix Grumman Avenger.
I'm converting it from a TBM-3 to a TBF-1C
Wheel wells were boxed in before painting.
Three coats of Sky underneath, first coat of EDSG on top;

Re: Derf's Desk of Disasters
Hurray for finishing the Panther. It's a great little kit for it's age; simple but lovely surface detail.
Tidy work on the wheel wells not straight forward at all.

Re: Derf's Desk of Disasters
Food? I need to loose nearly 4 stone. I can't eat when I'm modelling.
Air might be useful tho
