Panther Ausf. D in winter camo

[gmoss]

Hi all

 

Here is Tamiya's 1/48 Pather Ausf D, which I have depicted in a worn, winter whitewash camo.

 

It was originally painted in dark yellow and green camo prior to the white wash.  It's painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with oil paints and pigments.

 

This is my second 1/48 scale WW2 armour build - I wanted to test my skills and some new techniques prior to moving up to 1/35. 

 

Constructive criticism is most welcome.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Regards,

Greg

This looks really good, are you thinking of putting this in a diorama?

Having tried whitewash I know how hard it can be to get right. But this, like your Tiger, is really well done. Top job.👏

Thanks guys

 

I'm in the process of making a small, simple base for it.

Really nice weathering, especially around the rear of the hull.

Very nicely done......winter white wash on armour is probably one of the hardest subjects to get right in modeling..... you did a great job with this.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

I didn´t try white wash camo yet. I like yours though. How did you approach it?

After spraying with dark yellow and dark green acrylics, I applied two light coats of hairspray followed by a very thin coat of white acrylic (about 30/70 paint to thinner) which, after drying, I removed (chipped) with a clean, wet brush. I watched a few tutorials on this method on Youtube.

Nicely done. I like the whethered white camo and the original one visible through.

Starting with a light grey sounds like a well thought approach. Thx

Sorry - I meant to say 'dark yellow and dark green' - not 'German grey' (that's how I did my Tiger).

I was always afraid of the white winter camo, never tried to make it and seems to me it's really hard to make it look right. You managed to do it very well. Great job!

Great build Greg ..., winter white wash looks spot on which is not easy to achieve ...

Lovely work

[Tojo72]

Love the whitwash and the weathering, some make a whitewash too clean for field conditions, looks just right amount of grime

[gmoss]

Thank you all for your kind words.

[PlaStix]

That really is very impressive! Especially in 1/48!

Kind regards,
