- I'm a UK based modeller, specialising in German and Commonwealth armour. I have worked on a commission basis for enthusiasts all over the world, created masters for one of the big 1/32 resin "ready made" model companies, and have recently helped out on some projects for Archer Fine Transfers and other 1/35 armour accessory companies. I build for myself - when I have time! - concentrating on Stugs, Pz IV's and UK and Commonwealth WW2 stuff. I also post my work on www.track-link.com, www.missing-lynx.com and www.warwheels.net. Please leave comments or questions on the blog or on any of the websites I post on. If you would like to contact me, just click on "view my complete profile" below for my email address.

Panther Ausf G, 2/SS. Pz Regt 1, Stoumont, Ardennes
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
