Gotta try and keep up with this. Even though I am still in airplane mode, the Panther is my fav tank.

Finally I'm following one of your builds before it's pages and pages along! What's not to like about a Tamiya build? This is on the radar!

Maybe the occasional internet failure isn't a bad thing - you can get on with building without distractions. Unfortunately, my connection is as reliable as a Swiss clock-work - consequently, my '250 is sitting in the cellar wondering if it's going to get more than just a coat of primer  |

Dierk,the only time I can get some real serious bench time is when the better half is away for the weekend! Tobias thank you! Anthony thank you! Hope to have the upper hull finished tonight and everything ready for primer. Terry thank you! Low parts count and good fit is the key to this Cat. Deano,thanks for the nice compliment! |

Almost makes me want to have a go at something bigger than 1/72! Give it try sometime! Sometimes I wish I would have stayed with 1/72 do to shelf space! |

Thank you Guy! Hope to have primer on in a day or two. Mrs has knee surgery on Thursday so bench time may be limited while I tend to her.

Almost makes me want to have a go at something bigger than 1/72! Give it try sometime! Sometimes I wish I would have stayed with 1/72 do to shelf space! Leon I would like to one day but I'm not sure my skills are not up to doing the bigger stuff justice just yet but I'll keep plugging on - give it another 10 years or so!!! And then there's the shelf space issue in my house.....  Also, if you don't mind I'm going to borrow some your stowage ideas for my Cuckoo project, as your side on pics show how it goes together really clearly.  Keep up the good work!! Andrew |

Build phase is almost finished.Started working on the upper hull. 
I was able to source up some from my spare parts box and installed them after the pic was taken.
