Nice result. I have this kit, so the build log was very interesting.

It's a bit tricky kit... the only thing to do is make several dryfit tests and have some patience... a lot of
patience!

TAKE A CUP OF TEA AND SOME BISCUITS, IT'S A BIT LONG TO READ ALL!!! 😄
this is a recap of a 13 months long project, due to some issues with the kit that litterally killed my patience...
THE KIT:
Panda Hobby's Cougar was released in 2014 and comes crisply moulded in a light tan plastic and free of any flash.
Moulded details are very nice, and in the box you can fin a little but complete etched fret.
All the cabin interiors were reproduced quite well and you can see it if you keep doors open. Unfortunately there are difficulto to see because the little windows do not let the light pass trough.
I think I should point out at this pin that I am a bit of a novice when it comes to armour building (it is my second military vehichle, I usually make plane models)
But I fancied a little change, so hopefully this article will highlight some of the issues anyone new to armour modelling may face, and anyone with a lot more experience (which is pretty much most people) can have a giggle at my newbie attempts!
