What starts with "F" and ends with "-uck"? (*2)

End of day 1 

End of day 2 

 

- I knew it! You should have turned right! - Nah, the left side is the right side! 

Started the cockpit assembly, which is a bit complicated. 

 

Front plate and back modules are just dry-fitted. 

Bummer, repainting needed 🙁 

 

Sprayed & dry-fitted. 

Wheels on 

Dry-fitting the body. 

Current state - body not glued yet. 

Changed the roof colour, can't trust the instructions, the Panthers seem to be very diverse species. 

Decided to spray the stripes. 

That was rather bad idea, primo they are too thin, secundo I managed to peel off a lot of door decal. 🙁 

The ladder is too short for my version. 

 

That should be better. 

Masking again 🙂 

And the new stripes look much better, don't they? 

 

Latest update 

 

Added the basic colours on the second vehicle 

 

Ready for decalling me thinks 

Another scratchbuilding session. 

And yet another. 

 

Current state 

The scratchbulding saga continues... 

Reinforcements have arrived 

 

Current state (14/3/23) 

Still working on the details, there's a whole lot of it to be added. 

 

I'm starting to think that's the last stretch finally 

Shackles added 

Lights added 

Working on the stripes 

I do hope it's the last scrtachbuilt part in this project - the 'balls' are made using Krystal Klear glue. 

 

I had to scratch the rear top lights as Japanese boxing doesn't supply them
