This compact packs a good punch with linked twin MGs in the front and a mighty super power plant gives 10mph acceleration and a hefty top speed of 140mph.
The Pink Peril is a special modification for TPDG's own Pink Panthers team for standard arena events. This variant sacrifices speed and acceleration to add a rear-firing flamethrower plus a targeting computer.

For our loyal customers, a quick preview of our next model aimed provisionally at the Division 15/20 market:
Remember - drive offensively!
OK, so I've been busy and needed to have a bit of a laugh. The four cars in the last pic have got .50 cal MGs from my Sgts Mess order mounted on the bonnets. I've primed them black, to see how that looks as a base, although for the one which will be yellow I'll give it a light spray of white first. I'll do the base coats this evening, then finish them off over the course of the week.
I like the look of the pink peril. I suspect it will be very popular. The extra armour is more my style then the FT and SWC, But you did not build it just for me and I suspect the build will suit many people and the FT give a surprise.
ReplyDeleteSuperb!

@ Dannoc - cheers! Nothing wrong with this pink - I was worried that it might be a little pallid when I saw the colour in the bottle, but it turned out just right :)
@ cmnash - glad you like them :)

Glad you enjoyed the promo copy :)
@ Ray - you'd better hope he doesn't see that comment! :)
Very cool! I don't know if you ever saw the few I did, a couple of years back. This is a project to which I need to return, I think...

I did see them - they looked a cool set of cars, particularly the dodge Demon and the Hemi Cuda :)
