Wow! Holy Cow!! Look at the size of that!
Are there really any other words for that?!
You have me salivating for the rest of the build! When can we see the rest?!

Thanks Jim for doing such a great job on the article. The Panther winning the Silver Medal at the Model Engineers Exhibition 2002 this week really put 'the icing on the cake' for me. All I need is a day without rain to take the final photographs!

Sorry for not getting here sooner I have looked at this many times and still can not understand such a fine job of model building. The size alone would scare most folks. All I can say is great job Peter may their be many more
