Hi Neil, I will look closely on this build. This kit is very high on my wish list Very nice & clean built. Did you think about damaging this beautiful zimm a little bit? You used the CA glue for it?

high spit

i didn't use ca just 2 part araldite it gives a much longer working time. i have done a little damage on the zimm but we pay a lot of money for these kind of extras and then to start breaking bits of makes me come out in a sweat

Nice clean build neil. A perfect base for a nice paint job. I donīt like the tow rope though ... its floating a bit high, for a metal rope! Eventhough there is a certain amount of spring in the real thing, it doesnīt convey it sitting so high, IMO.

Neil -

Great job with this Jadgpanther. Looking real good, like how your Zimm job came out. Will follow your painting / weathering progress, one of my favorite vehicles!

Thanks for sharing your work - cheers.
