Thanks for your kind words, folks...

That is some top shelf work right there. Very well done.

I love EVERYTHING about this one!!!...I have this kit as well, and the only thing I didn't like about it was the really thick glass, but I found a fix for it.

Looking at the photos, I might be tempted to do some corrective work afterwards. What would be the fix you mentioned? My idea would be using pieces of transparent sheet in order to replace the „bulletproof“ glass parts from the kit...

I usually ALWAYS  cut-off all the side glass, and replace it with super thin klear acitate, let me get some photos taken of how I will fix the windscreen issue with this kit.  Also, did you know that there is a guy in Belgium that makes two different PE sets for this Pantera?, only problem is that they cost $60 U.S., but he's the only one I know of that has any.

A beautiful build of this kit. I like the 2 tone too.

Looks like we need a tutorial for replacing glass with acetate. How would you replicate the curvature of the windscreen?

Hi Dann, I will gladly wait for the photos of your windscreen issue fix.

In return I‘ll post you details of a much cheaper source for the Pantera PE set you are looking for. Bestbalsakits in Belgium (I think that is the company you are referring to) is a well-stocked trader with prices similar to those of a jewelry shop...
