veyron, you are my idol!!
not only for your modeling skills, but moreover i like so much your subjects... I also have 4 boxes (!) of this Marui Pantera, but i am afraid not to do a good work... so i am waiting for the time being.

It may be, I didn't measure but it has made me double take when I look at it. They may have stretched some in order to make the battery box fit without sacrificing the interior like so many motorized kits suffer from.

It's gorgeous. A great companion to your Miura build-up.

Ahhh! Pantera is definitely on my to-do list. Any recommendations on kits?

Tokyo Marui did two or three versions, only one has the police chase seen on the box which is this kit. They did a wide fender version and a mild race version. Only Tokyo Marui has gotten the body shape good enough, most of the other makers got the roof line wrong etc. In almost any kit if the body is right, the rest can be overcome.

Thanks for all the comments and praises, I'm proud to have finally built this kit but at the same time ashamed it and other cool stuff stays in boxes as I build more mainstream stuff. Maybe this is the year for change.
