Tiger Posted July 31, 2000 Share Posted July 31, 2000 I've seen a picture of a tiger in a museum with a similiar camo job but not sure if it's accurate. Looks ok though on the battlefield, esp in urban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgdpzr Posted July 31, 2000 Share Posted July 31, 2000 Not sure if the colors are accurate, but some Panthers were painted with a very sharp, angular, disruptive pattern, somewhat similar to what you have here. Not sure as to which Division they were attached though, as my reference books are home and I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted July 31, 2000 Share Posted July 31, 2000 You're thinking of the La Gleize Tiger I think. It isn't an accurate camo pattern but sure looks pretty . Any chance of you taking a request? (I'd like to "personalise" one of mine ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted July 31, 2000 Share Posted July 31, 2000 I think "Panzer Colours" or some other German camo book has a Panther with a pattern not very different from that. A little more wavy, but still close. ------------------ It's a mother-beautiful bridge and it's gonna be THERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaffod Posted July 31, 2000 Share Posted July 31, 2000 Heres a challenge... Try getting a skin on a panther or tiger w/ a zimmerit texture.. Im pretty sure there werent many after '44 w/ zimmerit, but it would look neato if done well... Zaff' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 Babra, Correct. I mean the pattern isn't totally impossible.. It just is the incorrect pattern used on the La Gleize KT. There were quite a few patterns quite close to this (although they'd have had at least 1 more colour if at all possible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seany B Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 I've seen pictures of 'Wiking' Division Panthers with a similar paint scheme, but they were on the Eastern front.The pictures were in 'Panzer Colours 3' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least after '43, German tanks were painted in a yellowish base color (dunkelgelb) and streaked or splotched with red-brown and olive drab. Or at least that's what most of the modeling websites tell you. ------------------ In fighting and in everyday life you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit. -- M.M.

Formerly Babra Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 Camo jobs for German vehicles were never consistent due to a variety of reasons. Lack of paint, lack of fuel to mix the paint with, lack of a working compressor for spray application... The list goes on. Even the shades of the brown and green varied due to variations in mixing it. Practically any combination of brown and/or green over dunkelgelb, in any pattern, is accurate enough. It's only when trying to model specific vehicles at specific times that accuracy becomes important. ------------------ It's a mother-beautiful bridge and it's gonna be THERE.
