    DeTomaso Pantera

    This is the Tokyo Marui kit built box stock except I glued the doors shut. I have since replaced that nasty antenna base with a much better one.

    Wow, great job on that model, it looks just like the real thing. That car might be one of the best Panteras I've seen.

    Incredible work. I've never had the patience to do what you do. Usually I build it, it looks like crap, I get firecrackers and have some fun.

    Thanks!

    I hate models with opening doors because most of the time they don't fit well, or either the gaps are too wide and unrealistic.

    The base is from the kit which too big and I have since replaced it with an antenna from the Hasegawa Miura kit, the antenna itself is a cut piece from my guitars small string.
