Hi Simon,

That has got to be one of the best scratch built parts I've seen. Very well done. You must be made up with it.

Please show a photo of it lit up too when finished.

Thanks Antony

Hi Simon

Amazing work!. Your IR scope makes a nice cherry on the top of an already magnificsent Panther model. Well done!

All you need now is a 251/D with an IR spot light mounted in the back as well to go with it! Hint hint Gill.

Kindest regards
Tim

thanks fellow builders for the good feedback, the last of the panther and i.r. posts, still some minor parts to finish on the tank but almost there, i made the lens out of a vehicle rear light lens as near to the pattern as possible, i hope it has been of some interest to the forum, thanks for looking regards simon manning.
