Dereknf Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 For my first, here's one I finished last year. Trumpeter's 1/48 Grumman Panther. Finished as it came out of the box. Not a great fan of 1950s US jets but always had a fascination for the Panther since I saw "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" when I was (much) younger. Quite an enjoyable build.

silverkite211 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Very nicely done! It's funny that you should mention the movie, I just watched it (again) the other day on TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx6667 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Its blasphemy because the Kitfinder General decreed this kit unbuildable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels49 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Super build, I had one years ago; [done by] if anyone here is old enough to remember when Aurora did kits. As I remember detail was sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Very nice finish. I've got one of these, as well as the older Monogram one and the decals for Brubakers plane around here somewhere, too. Hmmm, might have to watch Toko Ri again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
