Panther Colours - 3/1/2007 9:25:48 PM

Is there a PDF or a book showing the various paint schemes (at least 10) the Panther wore? I got a couple of Squadron books, but they contain limited number of paint schemes.

Hi RichardL
Panther Variants in Color - Trojca, in czech but for me it is one of the most accurate Panther e-books.
Can't remember if it was at http://betah.co.il/ or at http://www.myallbooks.com/index.php, give a search

Thanks for the info. Amazon.com had two copies in stock, so I just ordered one, along with a Panther DVD.

It's OK. I like to have the book on paper to use for future reference.

I just found an ambush color scheme that I like from the New Vanguard Panther Medium Tank book. Since the HL Panther is an ausf. A with the same rear exhaust stacks, I will airbrush it with this color scheme:

Squadron Signal puts out "Panzer Colors" in three volumes which covers all the camo schemes and various colors used during WW II.

Very good reference material for all fronts.

Correction, the HL Panther is an Ausf. G since it lacks the downward wedge of the hull sides at the vehicle's rear. In other words, its chassis features a straight hull side bottom edge that tapers gently downwards towards the rear of the vehicle. Therefore, I can't use the paint scheme shown above.

Here's a 1:15 Panther my friend did a year or two ago. But it does depend on the version of Panther and where it saw action to get the correct color.
