all Argentinean Panther pics that can be found online show wing fences, the Trumpeter/Hobbycraft kits provide none, so some scratchbuilding with plastic sheet is necessary

Panthers are my favorite, Reinhard @grimreaper), especially in an unusual paint scheme. Great work on adding the wing fences. Looking forward to the paint and decals.
