I did the same on my panther F's btw :) <br /><br />I plan on painting later when I got home from workDorn's Arrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06487267828089846567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605655514381156987.post-15961684210166419982014-06-30T08:17:47.774+02:002014-06-30T08:17:47.774+02:00don't!...
better do a test on a model you wil...don't!...<br /><br />better do a test on a model you will not use. With modulation you take a chance to lose consistency across your platoon...<br /><br />And indeed, I am very interested to see how they turn out... I won't have the patience to wait... I have already base coated my sdkfz 251s... next will be applying the dark yellow as I intend to finish with... green :-)<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your progress!<br /><br /><br />Braxenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659777580502075412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605655514381156987.post-79894267654439888092014-06-30T07:41:07.617+02:002014-06-30T07:41:07.617+02:00Good point Braxen!
I havent't really planned...Good point Braxen! <br /><br />I havent't really planned how I Wad going to Paint These. In my mind it just seemed easier to start with yellow since I won't have to mask as much before I paint the first camo color :) so I'm quite excited with how this will turn out.<br /><br />I will probably paint the camo on one panther <br />Before I do the rest, just as a test :)Dorn's Arrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06487267828089846567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605655514381156987.post-85905708100802767942014-06-30T00:56:43.921+02:002014-06-30T00:56:43.921+02:00Becareful...
You have been advised on another for...Becareful...<br /><br />You have been advised on another forum to basecoat yellow. It all depends on what you believe the panthers issued in Nov. Dec. had as a base color.<br /><br />If you do masking, you should always finish with the color you think was the base coat of the original tank.<br /><br />If yellow, finish yellow, if green, finish with green<br /><br />In your case, I believe you want to represent Peiper's panther, a lot of people are in the opinion that they were base coated in dark green...<br /><br />This is where you are lucky, because, even though you have started with yellow, if you finish with green, it is as if the tanks you are attempting to represent where initially base coated in green.<br /><br />My own interpretation is that Man factory indeed painted their tank with a green base.<br /><br />So starting with yellow, you still have the opportunity to finish with green and make them "correct".<br /><br />If your interpretation is that they were base coated yellow, then your end result will be slightly off (and you will not know why unless someone tells you :-) )<br /><br />This being said, I have sdkfz 251 on my table to paint in hard edge and I am following your attemps with baited interest! Might even redo my own panthers...Braxenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659777580502075412noreply@blogger.com
