There will be a second and third. It’s called tank maths. It’s like man maths for broken cars. Or. He who has most toys wins.

While im fettling with electronics i thaught id take a step back and start thinking about potential camo patterns for my Jagdpanther - got a few reference pictures here to go through, im personally loving the stripe syle patterns ... at the moment..

I vote for the last one, Ian, the Eastern Front from '45: that is an interesting stripe pattern.

Yes i also like the Normandy Summer 1944 pattern although if this is to be a 45 build then it might not be in keeping, i have a good while to decide!

Yep I vote for the Ostfront one as well. Although very little is known about the Ostfront ones in comparison to the ones facing the Western allies you can find some interesting examples if you really delve into it. The one I modelled my JP on I was a late G1 non zimmerit example that had obviously been brought back to the factory for major repairs and then sent back with the bolted mantlet and 2 piece barrel that they upgraded to as it was found to be easier to maintain. It also had a more interesting camo pattern than the usual striped and importantly to me tools on the side and early exhaust still

I'm kinda fond of this one-

Thanks to HDP for the link

Those are some great patterns to choose from, but the last one is pretty sweet! Nice colour combo and the outlining of the light coloured bands really produces a cool look.

jfulls94: Rummaging through my computer files, I found a few photos of a Jagdpanther, numbered 59, from the Panzerjäger-Ersatz-und Ausbildungs-Abteilung: the tank hunter replacement and reinforcement unit in May of 1945 at Oldenburg, Germany. The camouflage might be the kind of striped camouflage pattern shown at the bottom of the selection of schemes you show above.



Note also the Jagdpanther at the Patriot Museum in Kubinka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgusatrKzKE Of course, one cannot be certain of the accuracy of museum restoration colors and camouflage schemes.

There are some tasty items in that museum, and some weirdo paint jobs. Thanks for the link HDP!

Brilliant picture fantastic seeing history like that! Very good ideas to appreciate it!
