Started Pantera

Well, this is just a couple shots of it so far... I really like the kit. THe wheels are awesome and the arches are huge. And the wing is also big.

Let me know what you think.

Thats hot...but the pix kinda suck

Who makes that car? Is it one of those European cars that I don't know about.

You know like Toyota makes supra.

I don't mean Testors.

the pics are crappy because their indoor pics with bad lighting...its raining here so the outdoors are not gonna work. The Pantera is made by Detomaso...its a ford division powered by ghia. Just search for it online and youll prob know more about it than me.

Nice model, can wait to see what it looks like Mustang...:evillaugh

Great rare kit, imai kit I believe.
I have one and still in progress of restoring it, I really dont like the wing its too big.

Mine's black too but will converted to red and with black front trunk.

I'll post it after I finish it :P

Stellar, it's not something you see everyday in scale. (Oddly, though, I see tons of them in Ohio)

looking great,

good to see something different on here.


GL on the rest of it.

Thats a mean looking car! Looking forward to see the progress.

Wow, one gorgeous model coming up there, I am eager to see some further progress pics!

Cool, I love Panteras. Here's one I took pictures of at Sears Point.

Anyone got some pics for the interior? i need to figure out a paint scheme for the inside. FYI-im using Tamiyas TS-53 Deep metallic blue as the exterior. If you remember p-mans primera, thats what im gonna use. i know white with blue is a comon interior for a blue, but thats all i can think of. The car body is primed right now so i cant add pics....yet.

I like th4e huge flares.

Can't wait to see more progress.Looks great.

Make it a good one! Alejandro De Tomaso passed away yesterday :(

well i hope this car makes him proud...Heres just an update...its the under coat before the blue.

Yes i know, its all chrome....its to help the blue. Ill spray the blue tommorrow as i have to work. Comments so far welcome.

very aggressive looking car you have there, but it's my understanding that painting the undercoat gold will give a much richer candy effect? I actually did it with gold once and I was pretty pleased with the shine and depth it got with only one application of clearcoat and no rubbing back. :confused: can't wait to see more...

This is going to be cool yet !

Now that's a classic I have not seen in a while. I agree the pics are not that great though.

Looks good in chrome...lol
My dad (professional Painter) does that all of the time...normally with a silver or pearl white, makes the color A LOT deeper and crisp

Well, I finished it and have pics, but they're not that great of ones. Heres where they are:

I think Alejandro De Tomaso would have loved it.

lol

Nice, i like it

Very Nice Mustang, I think he would be proud...
