The tarp was completed with a knotted strap around the grabhandle. A helmet was added next to the tarp, to make it colourful enough to make it look interesting and I decided to add the side skirts with the same goal. The Panther won't be given a camo pattern, I'll stick to dark yellow, kind of colour modulation style, again to make it worth looking at. If I can find interesting Panzergrenadier figures...we'll see. Thank you gents !  |

Guy the Dunkelgelb colour scheme will be most excellent indeed  . You can do a lot, with modulation on this colour. |

I'm glad you have the same opinion on the colour my neighbour. I'm not too keen on airbrushing a camo onto a Zimmerit coat, as the sprayed on paint tends to start bleeding in its textures. This will be a little more straightforward however I'll give it my best.  |

LOL Guy, I wouldn't say it's more straight forward, but I will say it'll be extremely cool  |

strange that you mentioned that bleeding of the colours into the zimmerit when modulating. I never experienced that really. I'm sure you'll do fine. Now pull out that bottle of DY  |

Now pull out that bottle of DY Hey brotha W, not when modulating, it happened during spraying the camouflage colours. Maybe I was usi g to much air pressure, or my paint was too much thinned. |

Steve, the info on Panther types is a minefield, a lot has been written on the subject and still more info keeps surfacing. Not far from my doorstep in Breda, Holland, is a Panther D displayed as a monument (gift from the Polish liberators). The tank however is completely mutulated imo as things were removed, closed with welded on panels etc. This being a D version it belongs in a museum.

Guess what it is? It's wheels on sticks!  The wheels were airbrushed gloss black, idlers and drive sprockets gloss white...bwaaah it's a start. |
