Here is Panther "215", commanded by an Uscha Kruger during the Battle of the Bulge. The vehicle was k/o'd in Stoumont and is the subject of photos and an excellent colour profile in "Duel in the Mist" #1. It features the Daimler Benz "ambush" pattern scheme using dots over a tight sprayed/hardedged 3-colour scheme.
It is the recent DML kit, pretty much stock except for finer detailing. One issue I took exception with in the DITM colour scheme was that they depicted a green base colour. Surely not in a post zimm Sept/Oct '44 machine? Anyway, I painted it in a dunkelgelb base, and masked off this with blu-tac. Next came the green, and a tightly sprayed brown. The dots were added with a tooth pick dipped in paint.
Anyway - comments welcome as always!
Cheers, Dave
