Appreciate the great, and numerous, pictures. For those of us across the pond, this is about as close as we're likely to get to seeing this Jagdpanther. Have to ask, though...how accurate is the paint scheme on this vehicle? Is it based on period photos? Not criticizing, just wondering.

The colours are possibly right but as for the pattern I have doubts. Talking to staff there some time ago now I was told that the new curator does everything possible to paint vehicles accurately where as before they were painted with what was available that looked close, this has resulted in some questionable paint schemes on older exhibits and great finishes on others.

Panthers are among my favorite tanks, and as you no doubt know among the rarest, so extra thanks for putting this one together Darren. I really appreciate the close ups around the headlight and under the fender.
