Hey guys!

Been a while for me since I posted here... I suppose im getting back in to scale model making after a few years off
So, can you guys help me here? I'm wondering what colours this Jagdpanther would be painted.
Thanks!

Well, without knowing anything about the photo in regards to place or date, I would guess that it's in the same cammo as used on many late-war, final production Panthers - most likely olive green and dark yellow.

My .02...

You mean Jagdpanther... right?

i think this jagdpanther are 3 colors--olive green/dark yellow/red brown, like the tamiya jagdpanther models box.

I agree with Anping as there is a difference in the dark areas indicating a 3 colour scheme.

No, I meant exactly what I said - At first look the cammo in the photo (even though it's of a Jagdpanther) appeared to me like the same as that used on many late war Panthers.

The olive green and dark yellow cammo used on many final production Panthers is well documented and a generally settled issue. Since the Jagdpanthers were built at the same factories, and at that time the factories cammo painted the tanks before they were released to the military, by extrapolation I thought it was a fair assumption that the same type of camouflage was put on this Jagdpanther.

However, after looking at the picture more closely, I believe that Anping and Darren are correct - the Jagdpanther has a three color cammo.

My guess is somethink like this

IIRC the restauration is said to be quite good (Zimmerit is debated) and it is the same basic version.

I would say MM olive grun, sandgelb, and Tamiya red brown.

Okay, thanks for the help everyone! Would this camo be hard-edge or sprayed on? Also, could I paint a Jagdpanther in just dark yellow and green, like the late war panthers?

Thanks!

Despite what others say, field applied camo was common. They hand painted it, usually, where as factory camo would have more of a soft edge to it. In 1:35, I doubt you could actually tell the difference. I mean the "hand of God" effect.
