I spent a lot of time on that page about ten minutes after I ordered the G Sunday night. I'm just waiting to I get the kit to see and decide how far I'm going with PE. I'm leaning towards the full Aber, but need to see the kit and figure out what would survive.

Scott, no zim is not an option. I thought I'd have to stretch the boundaries of the G to do it, but I see the earlies were zimmed, so I'm good. I like the crudeness of the scored-box pattern, but the really good ref pic in the Jentz book is a horizontal pattern on the G.

I have a ref of a Berlin G that is gorgeous, a dark PZ grey with green patches, but no zim. I need to flip through my Panzer Colors and find the octo pattern, but I'm sure that's not over zim either.

I hear ya on the F, but I'm not going through the gun changes on this one. After the StuG, Ketten, 34 and more recently the Kubel conversion, I'm looking forward to just following directions. Besides, I've got the Schwimm and 38(t) to twist my yarbles.
