I just finished my last model, except a figure which I must paint now. It is a risky idea, but funny anyway, which allow me freedom to make a different camuflage and different ideas.
here I put the history and explanation, and you can see more pictures in my blog:

I remember to have read in a book (maybe from Albert Speer) where supposedly, a cracked German government's part, wanted to force an alliance with the United States to fight against the communism. In fact, some of those Germans attempted without success the alliance until the last days of the Reich. It is also said that, the Germans facilitated and even favored subtly the allied advance in the eastern front, to be able to force them to fight against the Soviets. For Hitler has been a perfect solucción to avoid the destruction of his empire, but fortunately, the Americans didn't have any intention of allying with the Germans in a suicide.
This Panther is an example of what could have been if German and Americans have united their efforts to stop the Soviet locomotive. Surely, the Americans had put to their service some of the best German weapons. The German factories would have renewed the production to increase the number of tanks and vehicles in the battle field, but mainly to increase the quality and to take advantage of the proximity of the production place. Maybe, the Americans have carried out small changes, perhaps in the camuflage, the identifications, or secondary armament or radios.
My Panther II have an American radio and a German one too, to be able to communicate with all type of vehicles. Also, they have applied some stains of American green color on the German original camuflage, a little worn away.
The most important thing of everything is the infinite possibilities of combinations to make dioramas and ideas under the concept of that possible alliance. I hoep you like this "what if" history".
I hope you like it.
