late war panther g.

Post by oz »

once you have broken down the tank into its component parts you can start to apply your paint' i used a mix of tamiya NATO green, white, yellow green and buff into a mix that i was happy with.
remember to give the whole thing 3 or 4 thin coats rather than one thick coating of paint!
then take a a bit of pure white and add this to your base color mix and start to squiggle this mix into the middle of all panels and flat surfaces on your tank and you should end up with it looking like this.

some of the pic's have been darkened a bit so you can see how the lighter paint goes on top of the base color.

...............cheers oz.

cheers guys, this is gonna be a bit different from what i did with the tiger' when the camo is finished the weathering will be done with oil paints using the oil dot method.

think i may need to resize the pic's as well.

its a very easy thing to do' and i think gives the vehicle a bit of extra detail and character, go for it! but take some pic's and post them.

I have a build thread in the hl section called" converting a king tiger to a e50".....I will be doing all the "weilding" this weekend as we expect a lot of rain....It will be no where near as nice as you panther though.

long as your happy with what you do mate' that's all that matters :)

i sprayed on the basic camo then hand painted the camo again to give it a hard edge' but keep the paint thin so you don't get a build up on the camo edge.
