In the works. Pzkw V Panther ausf A. , 4 Kompanie, Abteleilung/SS-Panzer Reg. Totenkopf. Poland summer 1944.
The first image shows base coat XF 60 as a "mid-range". Many other colors used for pre-shade + color grade.

First camo color XF-5 + XF57

Second camo color is XF-6 + XF-60

Three hours later and I have had enough for one night. Next, will tone everything down a little and blend with filters.

great airbrush work looks like the camo was sprayed by a 1/35 figure

Looks very nice. Would you mind sharing with us what airbrush, psi, and paint mixture you are using?

Thank you for the kind words guys. A feature article detailing the process will follow soon.
Jeremy H: This camo was applied with a Badger Velocity at 20 psi. All Tamiya acrylics thinned with Tamiya X-20A to the consistancy of skim milk.
1st. camo color used is XF-5 Flat Green toned down with a few drops of the base color XF-60 Dark Yellow. For the upper horizontal surfaces, a few more drops of XF-60 are added to further lighten the color on the areas affected by direct light.

2nd. camo color used is XF-6 Red Brown toned down with a few drops of the base color XF-60 Dark Yellow.

Thank you for the feedback.
