DML Panther D w/Zimm Question

[Tojo72]

I am working on DML’S Panther-D w/Zimm,maybe someone familiar with the kit can help,I want to paint it in the 2nd camo pattern in the directions,the three tone one,I cant tell whether or not the pattern extends to the top of the rear deck,or the turret top,instructions don’t show it,and I can’t come up with anyone’s fininshed picures to tell.

thanks for any help

It’s safe to assume the camo pattern extends to the engine deck and turret roof as the camo was meant to hide the tank from aerial observation as well as from earthbound eyes, too.

Period photos clearly show this. Also, don’t use other modeller’s work as reference in lieu of actual wartime photos. You’re interpreting their interpretation. Who is to know if they are correct or not?
