Had a great day at the open day, gives you some motivation looking at other people's builds. I am now attempting the I.R Unit ontop of the Cupola

Hi Simon.

This is something I wanted to try and do as well, if anyone can make a proper job of I am sure you can mate, your Panther looked fantastic at the open day.
Looking forward to seeing this bit done. Will you be putting a laser light in it? you know one of the tiny pen lights? would look really good at dusk :idea:
Best wishes Paul :wink:
