Hi all,
I am working on a Panther Ausf. A late (from Dragon), anad wondering which camo was more common, plain yellow or with green and/or brown...

I plan to add a whitewash on top, therefore Eastern front.

Thanks in advanced,

Carlos

I have seen photos of both, and lots of builds done both ways as well. If you haven't already, you could do an image search and see what is available.

What year are you modelling? You could so something different and give it a dark green base with yellow and red brown over it, but this is a really late war scheme.

I saw old footage of Panthers (I think Gs) with yellow and red brown over green, and whitewashed in a zig-zag pattern, making it resemble a zerba in a way.







Hope those help to some extent

Thanks for your help guys. Finally went for a green camo I saw on a profile (hope it is correct!)

Conor, thanks also for the photos. I first saw it many years ago on Panzertruppen book, IIRC, and always wanted to do one. I will have to get a Panther G first... but someday for sure!

Cheers

Carlos
