Im sorry if I hurt your feelings,Mike from Georgia. Please accept my humblest apology. I promise never to do it again.

To be sure,the Jagdpanther is maybe overdone. However,since I havent seen every single Jagdpanther produced and painted,I cannot say with absolute certainty that it isnt. Hence, I say that it is indeed possible and therefore looks absolutely AWESOME!!.

Couldn't agree more Herb. Something that was started by a few modelers, more concerned with artistic liscence than reality. quote]

You know, I was thinking the same thing the other day about white washes. I have seen a lot of pictures -A LOT- of actual kraut tanks with a white wash, and none of them have ever been across the whole tank like some of the flashier models depict. Most of them look hastily slapped on, with splotches of grey showing thru everywhere, as if....Oh I dont know, they were more concerned about getting back into the safety of the tank than they were a consistent paint job?

Seems to me as if you'd get a better depiction of what they really looked like if you just kind of haphazardly slopped it on, you know?

I agree with you Jim. In all my years on tanks I saw plenty of chipped paint. I would think that paint is paint whether is was from 1940 or 1998, it still chips when roughed up. You are correct in the size and amount that modellers apply to their kits that could use some toning down.

Not sure about chipping, but I noticed a few comments about the possibility of red primer wheels earlier and remembered these photos. Have a look at the colour of the spare wheels mounted on the hull. Usual caveats apply, old photo, possibility of colourisation etc etc.... just food for thought.

wow that jagdpanther looks like it was recovered from the bottom of a lake in 1986
