Another approach is to just get another Jagdpanther and try a second camouflage scheme. Hey, it's only money!

Ohhh Herr Dr. I'm already on that path. Silly Herr Dr. Professor...

Lol before I even started painting this one in primer I had that Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda list going like Mr. Bix with his current "Fury" build for another Jagdpanther project. I think I might need one for each of the 4 seasons.

Listen, one of the best looking Jagdpanthers I have ever seen was in all Dunkelgelb, leave it. Get some magic grime on it, some decals, do the tracks real nice and its perfect!

Now that's a good idea! We tend to use the three tone camouflage schemes a lot. An all-Dunkelgelb Jagdpanther would be great, too.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Today has been a new day of progress in the right direction. My biggest challenge was in my head or more precisely my brain having issues comprehending "reverse" camouflage with the putty. Once I got a hang of how to use it which is an awesome product btw. I went looking for a proper template. I looked at the Tank Encyclopedia for inspiration- https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/nazi ... anther.php Unit #132 was what I wanted to go for. Then I actually found a similar template here on our site- viewtopic.php?t=2451 #121 looked close to what I wanted and included helpful angles to include the side skirts-

So I followed closely but not wanting to copy it exactly-

















I'm glad with the full repaint that the texture still looks passable.

When applying the putty this time I learned to use of all things TOOLS to manipulate the putty giving it a more random jagged edge. What kind of tools you ask? 1 round chopstick, 1 bamboo kebab skewer, 1 plastic squared sushi chopstick and my wife donated an orangewood stick from her nail care stuff.

The only thing that I kept from the Acid trip camo pattern was the barrel. That's all mine.

Ok time to rest. Next step is chipping now.

Bon Appetite!

Good morning,
Again, a great achievement

Yip, I like that version a lot more.
Trust me that when you get an airbrush set up, you will hear the sound of angels

Love this thread!!

Yeah it doesn't hurt my eyes anymore.

But seriously. In my many travels on YouTube and the net watching Modeling content creators, I occasionally come across some that include their mistakes. I respect them for admitting flaws or showing them fix issues. It's refreshing to me. I've seen Mig Jimenez make a mistake and say it as he does it. Then he goes about fixing it. That's how we learn. Or Martin Kovak stating that he isn't good at airbrushing camouflage more than once. I even watched another guy run a split screen of his first attempt camouflage pattern compared to his final version that he was satisfied with.

Thank you Bix, Breck & Jofaur!

Stay tuned...

No mistakes mate, just a well thought out change of direction and kudos to you for choosing to do so.
Key is with these things we do, is that as long as the tank we make brings US the satisfaction out of what we put into it, having others like it too is just a bonus.
Sharing it on a platform like this is also a bonus, but never the sole motivator to be in the hobby.
Cant wait to see how you weather it now, thats going to be a good watch
