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. :D

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.
