Hello.

I'm building Dragon's late Jagdpanther right now. I want to make it as one of the last produced examples, which fought in Berlin and it's surroundings 'till the end of the war.
I read somewhere, that some of them were painted overall in dark green without any markings - is it true, anybody know something about this? And what about just red-oxide primer, that could work, right?

Thanks for your answers

Bye

The later Jagdpanther sometimes roll off the factory with just a single color camo, some said it's olivegreen, some said it's just oxidized red. comes to the end of war, the germans were painting their vehicles in all sorts of color and pattern they can get their hands on. I done mine in a stripe kinda camo.

Just to confuse issues, a third alternative is that some vehicles were reportedly finished in overall panzer gray (or a close substitute). Green, brown, or yellow camo may have been applied (or not!).
