which number is panther zim pattern? is it 4 or 2??

i think its 2

i was thinking it's 2 as well. i'll wait for more replies before i apply it.

its 2, I checked my old italerie panther A with zimmerit

awesome thanks

no prob, thats why we are here

Why not 6? I always thought that the waffle was applied to Panther A too....maybe I am wrong.

dunno, perhaps there were more variants, but number 2 is that which were in the italerie-kit included!

Hi,

if you go to the Atak site, you can find resin glue-on Zimmerit for various models... By the look of it, the pattern they have for the the Panther. They give various possibilities...among them 2, 6, 3, 9, 4 at least by the look of it...

I thought it could be either 2 or 4

Hi all
I seem to have heard somewhere that the Italeri Panther A comes with it's own zimmerit. Is this correct? and if so how good is the Kit?
TIA
Peter

its goog, not great, just good

its ok for a "normal" modell-builder like me but if u like historically right (i hope u know what i mean) than u need aftermarket products and its a bit "toylike"

Don't know why you didn't read this properly. It tell you exactly.

Thanks to panzer world!

yea well it doesn't really show which went on which. can 5 (cross-hatched) go on a panther A. i want to do that one. if not, i'll do the waffle stamp.

hmmm i would use #2

With all due respect for all who have answered, my advice is to go to reference materials. It seems we are making a lot of sweeping statements regarding this issue. What pattern of Zimmerit did a Panther wear is a HUGE question, you need to refine your search pattern. What Ausf. Panther are you modeling? Which theatre? Which Unit? Which firm manufactured the tank?

Please remember that Panthers were manufactured by more than one firm, and in many different places, and that hulls and turrets were also manufactured by different firms and in different places. I am leaving other more obvious modeling scenarios out of the equation such as mixed units, and tanks that had been repaired or modified.

I have limited materials on the Panther, (Squadron In action, Concord, Panther: Quest for Combat Supremacy, and Verlindens' lock on) but they all indicate differences from tank to tank and unit to unit.

My long winded point is this: Research and don't EVER apply blanket statements to Axis armor. If you are concerned with accuracy, it will bite you in the butt.

HTH,
