Well kind of 5 models in 2 1/2 weeks. I managed to get the base paint on five models, including the building of three of them. Some of the models received up to three coats of primer and at least two base coats. The models are ready for markings and weathering at this point, but due to the humidity the weathering products take too long to dry so it's slow going. Here are some pics of the five models in various stages of painting.

Looks like you've been making the most out of your available painting windows Rob! Hope the weather cooperates some more so these babies can keep on rolling down the assembly line.

jackwagon and Bill, thanks fellas. Dicky you crack me up mate.
Bill I try when I can brother. Can't do any AB work the past two days, too much spatter. Been applying rust pigs to the museum KVI instead. Have to wait to try and get HS and base green on her.

Now I remember the reason why you call this one your factory... Even Krasnoye Sormovo at its best would have had problems in keeping up to your speed

Sorry for my very late reply fellas. I thank you all for taking the time to check this thread out and of course for the most appreciated comments.
With the Panther's paint curing now for some time I think it's safe to start some weathering without effecting the under lying pigments.
