AS 365 Panther
« 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.

There are decals for two aircraft - I shall be doing the easier one - not the one on the box lid.

Red would hand-paint this before tea.

Basic fuselage done. Nose removed so that new resin nose can be attached.
This went together pretty well - no filler needed yet.

Shame about the decals, it would have been an interesting choice.

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.
