A friend gave me an Academy 1.25 Panther kit he was never going to build. I have started and got to Stage 13 with no dramas.

The kit has clip together individual track links. Trouble is each one has 2 moulding marks that need cleaning up. I’ll post next when I finish it all. The only question is how many Resident Evil films it will take to do it.

Yes a day off and with my kids parties a chance to update WordPress.

The above is some modellers dilemma which never ends well. This is not my situation fortunately but I have met people in this situation.

Currently on the main bench is the Bv P178 and the Minion Dalek.

The first has now had 2 coats of primer and just requires the canopy being put on before I commence painting. At the stage of the photo above I had painted the u/c bays RLM 02 and was just removing the full uc covers that made this quite easy. Along with a little blu tack on the exhaust this is easy to primer.

The finished kit will have the uc down. The camo plan is to paint the upper half in 75 and then mask up some blobs and then spray 76 overall. Masking will be the usual tamiya tape which I intend to cut out with the new tool i bought at Telford. Photos to follow.

The Minion Dalek needs a quick wash and then I need to contemplate the painting order.I am a little unsure on this next step.

The above need a little work and thought still.
