![]() ![]() In Feburary 1943 a three colour disruption pattern was ordered over the Dunkelgelb to be applied by maintenance crews as required to suit local terrain. Obviously in the last few months and weeks of the war the situation degraded further and shortages led to a variety of expedients.ĭunkelgelb was ordered in October 1942 as the standard colour and remained so for the war. of the unit, as they had airguns and compressors for the task, or occasionally by the crews themselves. Generally this was done at rest periods by the Werkstatte Komp. Indeed you can tell where a Panther was built by its camo pattern.Īs these aged they would be repainted in the 'field'. Late-War the Germans adopted factory applied schemes on all armoured vehicles. But then I'm concerned the vehicle will look like a patchwork quilt which gets away from the simple appearance of the stripes and the idea that it's been done quickly.Īny advice on what would look best? Will update this thread as I go along. ![]() Or perhaps the chassis in redbown but the wheels would be yellow or green. I want some of the vehicle to be in the red-brown (red oxide) primer that the germans used, so though the chassis could be this and perhaps the wheels too. So was thinking that the hull and turret would be as in the pictures, but am undecided on the chassis. But I want to achieve a very-late war, rushed-from-the-factory look to the vehicle. So that's the look I'm going for and I have bought appropriate colours in Vallejo colours that match german colours. This has been interpreted in the following scan from a japanese magazine, and is the basis for what I'm going to do.Īnd put into practice, it looks like this (it's a link, I'd rather not just help myself to their photo) There's definite historical basis for what I'm doing as seen in these photos. I want to do something somewhat exotic, almost speculative to be very-late war and have settled on a strong stripes pattern. This is the kit, currently I've primered most of it on the sprue. I'm making a 1/35 late war Panther with IR gear for an event weekend after this at Duxford. Maybe not quite the forum for it but I know there are some historical modellers and I need some ideas. ![]()
