Title: AS 365 Panther
Post by: chriswil42 on January 13, 2021, 03:02:26 PM: About to start this. 1/72nd scale DreamModel; first one of this manufacturer to make. The mouldings look good with some resin and brass.

This went together pretty well - no filler needed yet.

Yes I thought it would be quite difficult to slap them all over the contours of tbe fuselage. The scheme I will do has similar images on the tail and rear fuselage.

Not so draughty now. Cockpit fully enclosed with undercarriage and new nose on.
Got a little brass bending now to finish it off with.

It's amazing how many come up with fifty when I mention shades of grey. I think I have about 17 in my box.

Title: Re: AS 365 Panther
Post by: chriswil42 on February 20, 2021, 01:57:09 PM: Model declared finished.
This was a pretty good model to build. Most parts fitted well together. Only a small amount of filler required. Brass bits were a bit tricky mainly due to their small size. The decals went on very smoothly - very impressed.
Title: Re: AS 365 Panther
Post by: zak on February 20, 2021, 02:56:19 PM: Another great model added to the growing collection.
