Thank you kent. According to your advises, this is my very home made mould for the extensions of the armoured semi cercle... Note the 3mm brass rod inside to strengthen the extension...

Some new improvement...i'm very slow, like usual... First the forward part of my mew deck.

Image

I made space for the welds.

Image

This part has been reinforced, and i added some more details.

Image

Ok, nothing really original, a pure copy of what kent did already. it looked good so i decided to do the same.

Image

The hull, partially paint and assembled.

Image

The new chassis, in three parts like the real thing.

Image

Image

i started to set up ball bearings in the road wheels

Very nice work Cedric!

And glad to hear my own build has inspired you to follow my example.
That is exactly the reason I keep on posting - thanks.

Best wishes and keep up the good work.

Hey Cedric, glad to see you back on the forum! Your panther is looking great - the Kent surface treatment really looks cool! I recognize those shackles too. Your modifications are looking fantastic! Hope the new year brings much satisfaction and progress on it.
Kind regards,
Bob
