Watching, nice progress. I love the old Monograms, lots of work but they look pretty good.

Hello John and Villiers, thanks for stopping by 🙂 and thanks for your comments and also others for likes too. I'm with you John, I like these old Monogram kits 👍 - well you know I have a penchant for vintage builds anyway! 🙂 I've never built a Panther before - such a lovely shaped airframe, I think I'm gonna enjoy.

And another one past the finishing post! Started in 2023. A great Monogram kit. The most demanding part of this was ensuring the decal positioning around the forward cameras in the nose and the external fuel tanks. Overall an enjoyable build of a cool shaped 'jet age' aircraft. Hope you like it. Thanks to those who've liked 🙂👍
