the front glacis is just to angled making it longer than it should be .And that is why i can never be a rivet counter. not that I would want to be. If it looks like a Panther when it's done then it's Panther and I usually don't notice the things like that. But now that you've said it I can see it. Let me add that I am in no way implying you are a rivet counter my friend. That's a horrible thing to say about anyone The pile-o-bricks plan sounds like a good one.

Thanks Leon , Marc , I think I have built too many Panthers and thats why it sticks out to me . You are right tho , if it looks like a Panther it is a Panther .... certainly not counting rivets in this scale lol my eyes are bad enough

It's like when the Eduard 109G-6 came out and the wing span was like a 1/4" too wide. When I saw the 1st one all built up I said, "If I didn't know better i would have sworn that a Bf109G-6." Oh and don't say you've built too many Panthers. That's like blasphemy or something worse maybe

So progress is good here and the build is almost finished .... a few more hours detailing then the jobs a good un! Decided to add this Miniart wall section to the base just for a little interest .

Nice choice to add to the base Deano, should add some visual interest along the way.

Thanks guys, glad you like the update , gonna call time on the build for today . Was hoping to get this finished today ready for paint tomorrow but still got a few more things to add yet .............. I have peppered the hull with battle damage and think this is the composition I will go for in the finish .

Bad eyes, eh? Of course that ultra tiny stuff you're always messing with probably has nothing to do with it...I like the composition here, should turn out nicely

Sorry about the compressor... have you tried the mouth to airbrush method? LOL At least you know what to do... keep building! now there's a mental picture that will be hard to get rid of! Why do I have the feeling you've got some personal experience in this area Andy? Sorry to hear of the compressor woes Deano. Always rough when your equipment dies on you at a critical moment.

Wow, another fine piece from your building factory. Looks really killer the way the cat stands there for hunting purposes. The little ruin looks great. Is it plastic injection or something like casted ceramic? And the figures! Do not forget figures (a minimum of one should go every time, harhar!)
