Chris' Panther blitz **Finished**
Re: Chris' Panther blitz
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.
Re: Chris' Panther blitz
OK. Should be able to catch up with in the morning.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale
Re: Chris' Panther blitz
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!

Re: Chris' Panther blitz
Whooo this will be fun blitz to follow, I am sure. Don't think I have plans tomorrow night, apart from packing. Good luck!
Confused as always, and somewhere in hiding on the Scandinavian peninsula...

Re: Chris' Panther blitz
Good luck with your blitz.
Re: Chris' Panther blitz
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!

Re: Chris' Panther blitz
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.

Re: Chris' Panther blitz
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

Re: Chris' Panther blitz **started**
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
