  1. Very clean looking build, which I guess is what you want with a jet. I like the leading edges in NM. What is the finish? I can see it's dark blue but it looks almost black on a couple of the photos.

    • NM is Max Mayer BO03 car paint from local car paint shop.
      The blue is Model Master 1718 fs 35042
      gloss finish made with Gunze Mr Color 1/2 clear + 1/2 semi gloss clear

  2. I always liked the F9, great looking build.

  3. Nicely finished and photographed, sir...I like it! 🙂

  4. Zoran. Looks really nice , I always find it difficult to do an over all one color scheme and make it interesting, this one is. Well done.

  5. Hello Zoran...That's a fine Panther build...very nicely done.

  6. nice clean build - I like the panel line wash that brings out some of the details that normally get lost in a single-tone finish.

  7. Very nice indeed! well done!

  8. Nice work Zoran, looks like a flawless finish. How did you highlight the panel lines?

  9. Zoran,
    One of my all time favorite jets and you have done an impressive job on this. This is gorgeous.

  10. A very nice Panther, Congratulations !
