Looking GOOD. I like that disk cammo, might have a go at that on my HL Panther G if it was used on Jagdpanthers as well. Anyone have an anwser on that ? All the best for now.

blimey ive got a bit more done to the berge , ive fitted the ostketten tracks and the tyres
then gave it a ink wash followed by some weathering , ie mud and soot , more to follow

there are some archer rub down transfers for panthers in 1/35 according to the guy who designed them,the disk look was made by spraying through a stencil of the small triangle gaps between the circles,it seems that after the light dots were sprayed on the green and brown,that dark yellow was sprayed and a cloud edge stencil (maybe the same one that has the holes)masking the dark edge leaving a micky mouse edge,if you see what I mean,on your period pic I notice a pentagon pattern of dots on that triangular piece on the upper left,I've noticed this exact pattern as a part of a repeat pattern on a Panther that seems to prove a standard stencil was used,well known pics of HG div R01 show disc camo on the schurzen and are a good pointer to how it was done,It looks like your method is the closest practical way of doing it in model form,My next planned project is a Panther G with the disk look,its reckoned this method was in vogue for sept oct 44 not sure which factory,it was also seen on Jgdpz IV lang,and 38(t) based vehicles,good stuff Ice

does any one know which factory did disk on panthers,I believe that some in the late zimmerit period may have had disk about aug/sept 44,some had the more common almost KT type ambush in very late 44,I'd like to know which factories did which,and what periods,anyone ?and Tankman I've not seen it on JP's,late on MNH JP's had a neat diagonal stripe like thier Panthers,some colour JP Pics show what seems to be light grey primer showing as thin stripes that edge the green and brown,now that would look good as well as stir up a little debate among the flat earth society that only believe that dark yellow was used as the lighter shade in German 3 colour camo
