Changed the front a little, more green and added some brown.

My inspiration for the camo:
Image

Image
It ended up being a mix of these two, pattern-wise more like the lower one but not such a hard edge.

More grain in the wood

I re-blued the metal bands, the one on the right is 'after'

I chose tho minimalise the markings, especially since I am not re-creating an excisting tank. I chose this 'Panzer Lehr' marking because I like the bright yellow color, I like the position, and it is kind of how the markings on the Munster Panzermuseum Panther are. Image

Image

Image
Unweathered

Image
With some more shading (all over the place) done with the airbrush using panzergrau

New set of tracks!
Image
On the far right very, very nice spare tracks. See this topic for details on those and an extensive guide ho I weathered those:

Image
I LOVE how these turned out, but... the track hangers are wider than these track-openings!

So I thinned the lower part down
Image

Image

Image
Fits!
