Cant wait to see the 3rd colour coming along Herman. Tomorrow I will add the clasps to my stowage boxes and then start painting my Panther, but have to double check, that I didnt miss any Detail I wanted to add, before I start.

For sure double check that all your intended details are on before you commit to the end game.

The third colour is on, but Im thinking its too dark. Olivgrun XF-58 like I always use, but this seems darker.
I may overspray the green with a light late-war MIG RAL 6011(MIG 716) as it just is not the image in my head

The Pilzen sockets and rear deck MG are still to do, and these wont be a problem to blend in.

The Jury is still deliberating on this for now..............

Fantastic looking paintjob

. But be careful, 6011 is a very light green and AK already scale their paints. Maybe it is too light then. Why not just mix in some sand into your olive green, or use vallejo 6003 with about 10% of darkyellow or sand in it. Hmm when I think about it, the vallejo camo green is something in between. But unfortunately I don't have the number at hand right now.

Hits the spot Mr B
Looking forward to seeing the beast with its tracks on.
Are you doing a diorama for this one ?

Her you go, the green is RLM82, Camouflage green Vallejo ModelAir 71.022. Here is a Picture as used on the Tamiya Stug IV, with only a filter and some streaking, so still quite original. It is lighter and "richer" green than Olive.

Yes Sir, thats the one I wanted................

Too late now I think, but I may try a patch that I can weather out if necessary.
Very nice StuG IV Mr Soeren..............got any more pics of it ?

I just looked at my Jagdpanther and your green is close to the Tamiya J.A. Green XF-13

Yet the same olivgun XF 58 was spot-on when placed onto my StuG and PzIV !!

Oh well, we shall see eh.

Thanks

Here are a few more. This is one of those "tryout" vehicles. this is for chipping and a few layers of mud and grime to come every now and then. I don´t have "my way of painting a tank" yet. As I just started modelling in November/December 2016, so there is so much to still try. And you know something? I Need a proper place to take Pictures as well.
