B) Nice progress Tony. This is a great kit from Dragon and I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Looks good Tony! I like the stance.
Thanks for letting us come along for the ride.
Have a great day in the O's.
Cheers,
Bill
After thought/question. Do you ever glue the fruil tracks in anyway after you are all done? (Like where the road wheels contact the ground treads perhaps?). The reason I ask is, I have done one set (to completion), (Tamiya 35(t)) and when I pick it up to move it, the tracks bag out and I have to reset the road wheels on them (kind of like putting HO rail cars back on the tracks). Not a big deal, and I like the extra slack 'cause it looks good on the top rollers... just wondering. :hmmm

Hi Tony,
as discussed here are the schemes that you can apply to the panther version you have chosen - M.A.N.final production, last station steel wheel, turret cammo loops, AA mg ring replaced with post, Flammenvernichter with forged armoured exhaust elbows and 665MM rear idler (never fitted to Daimler Benz prod. vehicles).
Reference info all derived from ' PANTHER external appearance and design changes' (Abteilung 502).
:woohoo:
Both of these vehicles are base coated in olive green at the factory with other camouflage then applied over the top (still at the factory).
MAN Panther April 1945 -small number produced in this new camouflage pattern with very tightly spayed edges to the colors.
MAN Panther April 1945 - final scheme 15 -20 vehicles produced.

Much appreciated Ian 
I read about the #2 scheme on the net and that's the one I had in mind to do but had no idea what it might of looked like.
Also if they ran out of the Brown,Panzer Grey/Gray was authorized to be used but researcher don't think it ever was.
Again Much Thanks my friend

Paint #2
The Rotbraun
The photo of the front came out a little blue but the other three are about right.
None of the Rotbraun's I have are as dark as the book picture. The clear coat may make it darker?????
I tried two different brand of Red Brown as you might be able to tell.
Any opinions yet?

I really like that you've managed to lay-down the paint so lightly there's a hint of 'something' underneath. Not sure if that was deliberate but I really like that effect - yes it will darken with a varnish and it'll be interesting to see how that affects the contrast between the tones.
Ian.
