I builded a little Hasegawa Panther G Steel Wheel, painted in full dark yellow, then applied dark green and dark brown, even painted wheels, dont have pic yet but can it be historically correct, since they didnt build so many "Steel whell" versions I guess?

I think it would. Could help if had a picture of it. Then could find some reference photos.

I'm building a Panther G myself, but by Taymia, same paint scheme. This being my first tank model, I'm not going hog wild with orginality. I'm still working with putting the turret together and masking the frame. The red-brown didnt turn out the way I wanted to, but i think I can cover it up with the dark green. Any advice anyone has would be most helpful

That painting is correct. It´s the German three colour scheme and the Panther stell wheel version is from the period when the Germans used that scheme.
You can also paint it overall dark yellow with patches of red brown or dark yellow with patches of olive green depending of what panzer unit you are representing.
You can also paint it with the ambush scheme. This is the three colour scheme with little dots of dark yellow over the red brown and olive green.
You can look in Pnazer Colours of Squadron Publications, there you´ll find a lot of information and colour profiles.

I would agree! I mean if it looks good than don't touch it. It sounds pretty much like they were painted that way.

Hi All,
First and foremost, dump all of the written info in Panzer colors, most of it is imaginary. Next, by the time the steel-wheel Panthers were built (late 1944) the German army had centralized the painting of vehicles, so patterns were more standardized. Also late in 1944, the green had become the base color and the yellow and red-brown were secondary. Even later, the red-brown primer was used as the base coat! So, if you really want to get nuts about it, you should base coat the model with a coat of red-brown auto primer (spray cans are great for this operation) and then paint the model with something like Tamiya XF-58 Olive Green (the red oxide primer properly tints the paint) and then come up with an airbrushed scheme of dark yellow and red-brown over it. If you want pics of this, drop me a line and I'll e-mail them to you. Good luck!
Regards,
Georg
