Thanks. If not I'll order a new kit from Hannants. Luckily it's not that expensive.

The replacement kit has arrived. Time to cut some plastic and replace the wing!

Some more progress. The new wing is in place and the main paint job is done.

I've now applied the decals. They are from Aerocalcas and work very well with the softener I'm using

Hey Bernd, your progress is looking good! And a song came to my mind: "Dont cry for your wing, little Panther..."🙂

My version from: "Dont cry for me, Argentina" Related to the country of your panther!🙂

Hi Bernd, nice progress and interesting version. I did not know that the Argentinian Navy used also the Panther! Happy modeling, Christian

Thanks! Yes, the Argentinian version has been rare up to now. But I guess we will see quite a few Argentinian Panthers in the future as HobbyBoss put Argentinian decals in the box of their new 1/72 F9F-2: modelingmadness.com/../hobbyboss/87248.htm

Beautiful markings, and well done project. Really cute result!

Wow, that's really nice! I love it when someone does a common model in an uncommon scheme. Looks like you've added some aftermarket parts to the Hasegawa kit - wheel wells and cockpit detail?

Thanks guys! @Bill: Yes, I used an Eduard PE set (which included the wheel wells) and a resin nose and wheels from Resin Art.

Nice bird in an unique marking - well done and a a good start in 2013!

Great job on the wheel wells, great paint job too ! I like this Argentinean scheme. Cheers.

This is what happens when you try to "un-warp" a warped wing with a hairdryer. Now I need a new wing as a replacement...
The replacement kit has arrived and some serious plastic surgery is under way...
Main build-up is completed as well as the paint job.
I've now applied the decals. They are from Aerocalcas and work very well with the softener I'm using.
