sig226 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 What mould is this kit from ? I have a mastercraft M3 in the stash and I wonder if they are related... I (think) it might be the 'Pantera' mouldS Regards Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotrek.S. Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 You are both right. Mastercraft and Smer are old Pantera spures. Also sold as EasternExpress and few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sig226 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Nose cone painted, Canopy masked and ready for priming..... the auxiliary engine air intake scoops have been added as SMER don't provide these rather obvious features in the kit ! no chaff/flare dispensers are going to be fitted.

sig226 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 First coat of primer to see what we're up against.....still a little remedial work needed but about where I thought I was Regards Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcooljules Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 coming along nice. i completed my italeri one, the whole sit is crap, legs are wrong lenth, so i had to lenthen them, and the whole u/c doors are poor, nothing like the real shape.
