Ozzy Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 A bit of progress the engine is in and the right sponson is built and painted, I’ve also had a final cut on the turret to allow for a good view. I picked up some brass rounds for the racks and I got a bit of superglue today to stick them together. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Thanks Stix, were ok down here, hope your all well up there. I’ve parked the MTO build for a minute as my local club are having a lockdown group build, I thought I’d kill 2 birds with 1 stone and make a start on the Panther I’ve got till the 8 Dec to get as much as I can done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Davey, the engine hatch hatch will be open and I may leave one side of the fan covers off, I’ve just built the interior of the turret less for the main gun. I have to say with the figures in there it’s cozy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoat2966 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Ah ha.....a cutaway......nice. Looking very nice Davey. I feel your pain with the internals, and like the bravery to tackle a cutaway version. What's the maker of the 75mm shells mate. I need some for a figure throwing one out on my Kursk Panther I'm still working on. Nice job so far, looking forward to internals exposed this way... Regards Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Simon, i took the plunge with the Dremel and cut away, I'm not sure if I’ve cut enough away on the hull yet? i picked the shells of eBay, I’ll let you know the maker next time I’m at the bench. You get 12 in the bag with 9 rounds to pop in the cartridge case. a bit of progress this week on the turret, I painted the remaining 3 figures its definitely a tight squeeze in there with 3 crew. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good, Ive always wanted to fo the same to an airplane build. Maybe a Monogram B-17, B-24, or Something along those lines ? Will you outline the edges in red like some museum cutaway’s are done ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would look fantastic on either Dennis, I fancy doing that with the Airfix wellington like their display picture. I will coat the edges with red like you see in museums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just need to find a better camera to take the final shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, a better camera (Nikon D3100) doesn't make my photo's look any better, I need a proper photo booth and some lessons! 🙄 Davey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
