I think I can. It is in a book called GERMAN TANKS in COLOR. Let me see what I can come up with. I have so many stacks of books.

Hi,

The unusual 1945 late war Panther camouflage pattern was used in Germany per my modeling reference files. The 3 colors, their shade and value you have chosen might by open to some debate, but the model seems to becoming together nicely. Their were several variations of this Panther pattern and I have also include the "onion ring" pattern seen on a few King Tigers. The static Pz flak panzer is my build from a few years ago and the rest of the photos are from my digital files.

Tip: Photograph your model during daylight hours without the flash on. As you can see in the last 2 photos (same model, 2 different looks), lighting means everything in regards to how you present your model in photos.
