This will be my entry for the GB in honor of the unit that scored the first combat jet-on-jet, (MiG-15), kill in aviation history on the 9 November 1950.![]() Unfortunately the decals and spray paint are the only items I have at the moment as Hannants had a `senior` moment by informing after purchase that they had made a mistake and the kit wasn`t in stock. It`s now on back order so I`m hoping it will arrive soon. |

Update. Hannants contacted me to say it might be next year before their Panther`s are restocked. Refund given straight away, (a very helpful service), and I then bought one of the `bay` for a few quid cheaper. Result! Kit should be with me by Tuesday. :D |

Progress so far and it`s a very nice kit to put together. The Tamiya USN blue has come out quite light in these pictures. It is in fact a much deeper blue to the eye. ![]() ![]() |

A couple of update pics with the articifial light showing a better representation of the deep USN blue. Now the big question....? Wings up or down? ![]()

You can't fool me, they're not up or down...they're laying beside it.

:lol: went for wings down in the end Alan. After looking at Del`s effort I gave it serious consideration but there is some thing about the Panther`s profile I really like so my choice was made. Today`s update shows about 98% of the decaling complete.

I was just considering the wing joint and how you'd have to be spot on with the wings down, but you nailed it. Looking great mate.

Nowt wrong with wings deployed, I only went with them folded to save space. It is looking good so far and definitely looks like a Panther.. |
