Think pink

[Pantherman]

Looks great... and question: why the pink color??

That's a long story. Urumomo started it because I got a panther mixed up with the panzer I was building at the same time. So a bit of a joke turned into the cartoon character pink panther which turned into a photo of a pink panther tank. So I decided to go one better and built a pink panther tank and the rest is history. Pink has kinda stuck with me so every so often I go whackadoddle and build something pink for Urumomo.........and a few others that saw the funny side. Pantherman

What's the deal with the clear bits?

I just opened a 1/48 Tamiya airplane and there's an "optional" fuselage half that is clear.

Is this a new trend?

I've been having my eye on that Tamia 132nd Corsair.

I built the 1-A within the last year. I was proud of my work at the time, but know I could do better on the 2nd try, it really is an amazing kit, I suspect all three variants are great.

Something new I assume. Kinda nice to see all the work that we usually cover up. Pantherman

Much happier with the painted cowling than the decal one. Just a tiny bit of touching in to do then a coat of gloss.

After that it's cut out the decals I want and get a super shiny finish on the bodywork.

Got some of the front forks and wheel done as well so happy boy. Pantherman

Yep. Pink. This is my tribute to the Endeavor. Every once in awhile I'll paint something pink on a Model I build.

I thought he was ejecting out of the lift fan there for a second.

Coming along rather nicely on this one bud. I was wondering about the whole pink Panther picture in your avatar so thanks for explaining that. Funny now that you clarified that. lol

Decals done so just got to sand down the gloss coat to get it smooth then start applying the shiny top coats. Pantherman

I think the Pinky bike is done. Great fun building it and a special thanks to a fellow member for his help with the shiny finish. Pantherman

I decided that my first bike, the red Ducati needed some refurbishment doing to tidy it up. First one is before, the rest are after. Pantherman
