NontasB Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hello to all, This model was started in September of 2019 after a 2 year hiatus of modelling. It was started as a good way to return to full scale modelling. My thought was to build a panther different that the usual blue ones. Hasegawa had out of the box the decals for the Advanced Training Unit 206 (ATY-206), so I started it immediately. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:F9F_Panthers_of_ATU-206_at_NAS_Pensacola_1956.jpg G000E by Nontas B, on Flickr G001E by Nontas B, on Flickr G002E by Nontas B, on Flickr G003E by Nontas B, on Flickr G004E by Nontas B, on Flickr G005E by Nontas B, on Flickr G006E by Nontas B, on Flickr G007E by Nontas B, on Flickr G008E by Nontas B, on Flickr G009Ε by Nontas B, on Flickr G010E by Nontas B, on Flickr G011E by Nontas B, on Flickr G012E by Nontas B, on Flickr G013E by Nontas B, on Flickr G014E by Nontas B, on Flickr G015E by Nontas B, on Flickr G016E by Nontas B, on Flickr G017E by Nontas B, on Flickr G018E by Nontas B, on Flickr G019E by Nontas B, on Flickr G020E by Nontas B, on Flickr G021E by Nontas B, on Flickr G022E by Nontas B, on Flickr G023E by Nontas B, on Flickr G024E by Nontas B, on Flickr G025E by Nontas B, on Flickr G026E by Nontas B, on Flickr G027E by Nontas B, on Flickr G028E by Nontas B, on Flickr G029E by Nontas B, on Flickr G030E by Nontas B, on Flickr The model now is waiting for a nice opportunity to spray the white and the red.

RazgrizBSG27 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Awesome work giving the pit some extra pop, I love the Panthers and seeing one in the high vis livery will be awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killingholme Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 This is the sort of modelling I really like to see (and do myself albeit with nowhere near the same level of skill!). Taking a good, but basic kit and using fairly minimal aftermarket products + a load of scratchbuilding to turn it into something really special and personal to you as a modeller. Looking forward to seeing it progress. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbuoy Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Wow, that is impressive work. I really like that. I do like the Grumman Panther. Still got my Matchbox one hanging from the ceiling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
