Even the work-cloth fits:

The shoes and the lapels.

I didn't even notice they were working on a Panther.

These are great!!

I wonder how they modelled that weldingflame!

And what they'd cost. Knowing Royal Model, these guys won't come cheap!

I know zip about welding, but shouldn't there be two hoses connecting to the welding torch? one from each gas tank?
