Pink Panther SAS Land Rover.

[Guest]

My best wishes for this one John!!!

It's a very important model for me.... my favorite, the first after the big 'pause' and the model that opens me the doors of this forum

I WILL BE WATCHING YOU....

PS: I don't remember an exactly trick for this one....., just I painted with the pink color of Tamiya, but I mix with a little sand color.

I'ts difficult to find the perfect color for this Pinkie.

Ahhh...just play with the dust and have fun

You have another Pinkie on this same forum (military vehicles), and mine is on the dioramas threads (some place in the desert...) if you need to do just a look.

Good luck John.

Just to add the camo colour was for the dessert only. I forgot to add that...silly me.Si

I'm agree Si.

This color with the dust turns onto the best color camouflage in the desert.

From here comes the name Pink Panther, or called for the soldiers as a Pinkie too...

Cheers

Yep, 'pinkie' as you say was the name given by the guys. You know they even painted the tyre pink too on many of the Landy's so that there wasn't two black ovals travelling through the sand.

A pink panzer mmm sounds like a great idea for a group build lol

I'm looking forward to this just to see how it looks I've seen the kit in a shop by me

Ohh, sorry John!

I'm not sure if here in England you use this 'comment'.

The meaning is easy; the level of this model is very high, so the people who wants to build someday, well...we will have to 'work hard' to imitate it.

That's the idea!
