Chris' Panther blitz **Finished**

[Wookie13]

Ideal Blitzbau training? Get a job that involves working shifts, especially good is working for the emergency services! Cope with drunks at 2am & modelling is a piece of cake

Built that OOB about 35 years ago.

[jssel]

OK. Should be able to catch up with in the morning.

[Ian]

Roll on 21:00, that's what I say. You are, of course, quite mad you know. Zimmerit and PE. In a blitz. Quite, quite mad!

[Sissel]

Whooo this will be fun blitz to follow, I am sure. Don't think I have plans tomorrow night, apart from packing. Good luck!

[spitfire1677]

Getting close to starting...25 minutes, I have had to postpone the build by an hour

Regards
Chris

[despondman]

Good luck with your blitz.

[Ian]

A delay? Unacceptable, Chris! Especially as I am heading off to bed very shortly......
I'll have to catch up in the morning.
Good luck!

[Sissel]

Pity you'll be starting when I'm off to bed, it's past midnight now. But I'll catch up with you in the morning.

[spitfire1677]

Good night all

Hi to those still awake,
I started at a little after 2200hrs:


And a 90 minutes later this is what I have:




Now you may notice a lack of Zimmerit, the Panther I am modelling did nit have Zimm, so I left it off. Also I had every intention to use the Eduard Schurtzen, however they were sooooooo fiddly my sausage fingers squished them

Anyhoo, going to give the glue 30 mins to set, gonna grab a brew and then get a primer coat on the cat.

Stay tuned

Regards
Chris

[despondman]

Great start.

[VickersVandal]

90 minutes work eh. Nice one.

[Sissel]

Wow, this looks half done already! Great work.
Would have liked to follow your build more, but sadly it's way past bedtime here at 1:50 am.
Glue safely
