Hi guys, I stepped away from the 109’s and spits to finish the Tamiya Panther G early version kit. It has sat unpainted for a better of two years until a few nights ago I got tired of seeing it in that state, and decided to paint and finish it. I used the same process I use on the aircrfat kits to finish it. Preshaded with hull red, post shaded with a brown and black diluted mixture, and lightly drybrushed. I really enjoyed finishing the kit and I hope you like it to.
Cheers
Anthony
Excellent weathering job. What are the leaves made of on the hull?
Oh, and I need to ask about the pre-shade with Hull Red. Was that color choice specific to just this camo scheme or do you use that color with all paint jobs? Just wondering what effect it would have under RLM 65 or 76, if you use it.
Glad you decided to complete it. It was worth waiting for!
Anthony,
looks great! well worth the wait.
i like the foliage added on, and the muted 3 color scheme is fantastic!
i know you did not ask - but it looks like the track on the right rear
(between the last two outside roadwheels)
is going up a bit instead of lying flat.
very nice build & excellent execution on the painting!
I recommend the hull red for desert colours such as dark earth and mid stone, but not for light blue or greys. For these colours I would use either black or dark grey. The hull red is good for dark yellow vehicles.
Very well done, Anthony!
Thanks for sharing this beaut (brute?) with us.
Looks Great Anthony!
well worth the effort.

great build! the leaves look like something edible, are they? (im not kidding, they look like herbs of some sort)
Thanks for posting, and for the painting tips. I’ll give it a try on my Panther!
Nice Kitty! I too am glad you finished up.
That’s what I use when I pre-shade blues and grays. I thought maybe I was missing out on a technique or something. I am going to try the hull red method on my next desert kit
Really an impressive build. It’s on my list of To-Dos. You Camo is superb. Very clean and tight. Thanks for sharing
Wow very nice. The paint finish is supurb!!! I have heard so much about preshading and not sure how to do it,any pointers?
Very nice work, thanks for sharing it with us! [tup]
One more question for you. I really like the looks of the faded camo. Did you just drybrush it out? If you drybrushed it, what paint and mixture did you use? or did you spray a dust coat? Sorry for all the questions, but I REALLY like the looks of it and I have a Dragon Panther with a similiar paint job waiting in the wings
really good build. excellent subtlety in the shading. interesting concept too
Very nice paint scheme. Sounds like you have a pretty sound system for getting such a nice affect. semper fi, mike
Wow, looks really great. The paint finish and weathering effects are very good.
Are you planning to leave off the vision blocks (periscopes) on the commander hatch?
Just noticed this post. Excellent work. The painting and weathering is perfect. What paints did you use?
Cheers
