I lucked into a supply of AS-3 spray cans today in Brisbane. Got 2 of them. I have an un used section of discarded King Tiger mudguard in primer so I will smash a coat on & see how it looks.
The pattern I have in mind is not historic, in line with the projects 'what if' concept, but I feel it could be a go'er and not to far from plausible.
If it gets out of hand I can prime over it & try something else.
I will share the findings of Grey Green over Red Oxide primer, but thanks again for the pointer.

Seems to be darker than that sample panel, but lighter than the black-green.
Will suck it and see on the sample section & go from there.
Its a great looking option though. Well worth a go.
The "E" seems to suit it. Lets see how it goes over red primer & then we may see it over a Panther.

Ah fair one, look forward to hearing your opinion of the colour as seeing it for yourself always gives better results.

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it.
I have an admission to the Military Rehab Facility to help my recovery after my major RTC last year and I'll be there for 3 weeks as of next Sunday.
I will however endeavour to attend the August meet so that you guys can get a closer look at my E-25 in detail as sometimes pictures just don't do our creations justice.
