Looks great!

I prefer to do therapy on a 1:35 model, rather than make disaster on 1:16

Met5,
My God that's a beauty! Attention to detail and all the handmade little bits put this one over the top! Love the camo too! I really love the look of these Puma's. Coolest thing out there with 8 wheels!
Cheers,
Eric.

Holy dog crap Met5!
I may be an idiot, but somewhere along the line, I missed the fact that this was in 1/35 scale! I've been following along since the beginning of this build and never realized it! One of the clues should of been the pictures of it alongside your keyboard! I really need to pay more attention to things! Now I'm even more stunned by your build!

Hi Eric,
the Puma is 1:16, when it came time to paint it I started a 1:35 on which to do my tests.
When 1:35 is completely finished all I have learned I will transfer it to 1:16 ...
Now let's go on with 1:35.

Met5: From the photos of the 1/16 Puma throughout, it seems to me rather a convincing look of a war-weary Puma in whitewash. I know your camouflage on the 1/35 Puma is superb and will be very fine in 1/16. Yet have you considered preserving, or at least starting from, the 1/16 Puma's present look?
Re: Puma Sd.Kfz. 234/2 Metal Origin 1:16 WIP
Hello Herr Professor,
also my great friend Dante advised me to leave the Puma 1:16 so "in lime".
But fears must be overcome, mountains must be climbed and we must learn to do what we are unable to do.
The first tank I painted was a Tiger I (Winter Kursk), the second a Sherman and the third a Famo. All vehicles with only one color.
The lime way would be the easiest way. I have to be able to do a Camo and it has to be convincing.
Below are the photos I am drawing inspiration from.
