Fantastic job!

How was the build? I have not built anything from Meng yet, though I do have a Meng 1:35 scale Jagdpanther in my stash.

I’m not an aviation expert but I think you have it placed upside down.

He probably had the directions turned upside down while he was building it. It’s a common mistake.

Darth it was my first Meng build and it was a fantastic kit. High parts count but I expected that. Great decals hardly used any filler really just a fun build. Instructions had some errors but I expect that being translated from Chinese and some of the decal number call outs were wrong but they give you a sheet with over 200 decals including all the stencils.

Good deal. I’ve had that Meng Jadgpanther in the stash for a while now. Whenever I finish a build, I’ll eyeball it but I’ve not picked it out yet. Right now I’m building a Hasegawa 1:72 Macchi M.C.202 Folgore.



So far a fun, simple little build. When I finish this build I may have to finally tackle the Meng Jagdpanther.

VF-31 Tomcatters w/ the Félix logo was my old squadron way back on the Forrestal.
Has nothing to do with anything, just sayin’

Italian World War 2 fighters in 1/48 scale are horribly unrepresented.

I will pay you $2000 for this. Because of banking regulations I need you to send me $3679 and I will send you back the total in cash and other securities.
