F9f grumman panther

Dave, the panther is complete ready to cover,but it will be put on the shelf for now as I want to finish the vampire first.I will post up some pics of the airframe tomorrow.

Sweet.

Nice work, as usual.

How does he do it? In the time it would take me to pour over the plans and procure the materials he has finished the job. Do you ever sleep Pete?

Looking forward to getting down to brass tacks on the Vampire next week after the dust has settled on my homecoming, with the weather you've been having I think the first job is going to be beating down the grass. I'm in Strasboug right now and the temperature was over 30 when we got back to our hotel at gone 11! No problem with wet weather here, quite the reverse, the farmers are all worrying about the drought!

Some pics of the panther.some will notice that I have split the top hatch into two parts,the main reason for doing this is that on most scale jets the top hatch is very long so it's east to get to all the bits and bobs but at 36" long it would mean having many external fixings which I didn't want.My hatch uses only one 3mm fixing on the front end and I have incorporated secret fixings on the inside to take care of the mid section

Great stuff Pete. Looks really good. Have you decided on a scheme yet?
