Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 Build

Modeling desk cleaned, reset, and ready to go!

Here's what's in the box.

Cutting, sanding, gluing

Axle installer

Another view of axle installation

Frame nearly complete. Detailing those tanks was fun.

Chassis part with detailed green bit

Progress! I spray painted the body with Tamiya Metallic Red Spray Lacquer TS18 and accented it with black Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color and chrome pen.

Roof muddied up with black Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color

They would have me use decals but hand painting looks way better

Door spray painted, chrome with Molotow, and hand lined window inset

Cabin partly assembled…

Cabin windows installed, mounted to truck, and say hello to the crew!

Truck assembled but not with its roof parts or decals. Better get to work!

Whoa. There are a lot. I’m going to do decals first then put on the roof gear.

Decaled and assembled. Now for a bit of weathering.

All done!

Watching. 👀
I really should do some thorough cleaning between projects, too. 👍
But there is always something on the bench. Too many projects at the same time. 😄

I can only take on one at a time. Maybe as I get more experienced the volume will increase.

I was surprised by how small this truck will end up being: about the size of my palm. I guess I failed to look at the scale. That said, I was itching for a small build so I'm quite content.

Oh, I'm not the only one in this topic 😄
You took the better way with framing, the decals are crappy.

This truck is built and already smothering flames. Can't say it was the best modeling experience I've had but it was okay. Thanks for watching. I invite you to follow my next build at Build Photos | Album by grabius (1:12)
