Default Panther G Side Skirts

Have a Buddy who wants to add skirts to his HL Panther. Anyone know where he might be able to get these?

He is brand new at this. Met him at the hobby shop. Tryingto get him to come on board here.

Thanks Brothers

I don't know if this would help him come on board......pretty pricey for what styrene or K&S brass sheets can do....but,

You can alway try going direct to Aber and seeing if the cost would be less..........but if it's like anything else, manufactures often times charge more than the retailers....not sure how that works sometimes. lol

Let me know Don and I'll find the measurements for you. I work with styrene ALL the time and cutting these out would be child's play for either of you.

That is, if he doesn't want the PE set.

Half an hours work with styrene - tops. Probably one of the easiest mods to do.I would recommend even begginers to try it.

Made mine out of metal sheet, made up brackets out of square brass rod, soldered, pushed, prodded, pulled, bent, dented, scratched and put in water, best way to simulate rust is have the real stuff
