hello all,
can anyone tell me what colour the underside of the drivers hatches would have been, from what i can gather from pictures the inside of the tanks would have been off white, but i see from pictures in the gallery the underside of the hatches have been painted red oxide colour, which would have been correct
thanks, chris.

Hi,
Has been up before so here is a link.
http://www.daventrynet.co.uk/forum/foru ... 2175&PN=13
During the Dunkelgelbe (zimmerit) period - yellow
Later in war - Red oxide
Hope this helped.
Cheers
Kent

hello Kent,
many thanks for the info, red oxide it will be, another question i have for you is do you have any pictures of the exhausts, the flat top type with the fan type arrangement, a picture looking down in to the exhaust is what aim after, any help would be appreciated.
thanks, Chris.

Now thats a part for the after market people to get stuck into.
I tried and failed to fabricate these for my reworked panther exhausts.
I tried to make these fans out of brass sheet soldered together in brass tube
but maybe it could be done with etch brass for the blades part (which I don't have the way to do).
Over to you guys..

Hi,
If it can be done in the "tiny" 1:16 scale, as seen below, it can be done in our huge 1:6th scale as well!
But I am glad I don´t have to bother here as I am building an Early Panther G
Please note the well done rolled armour steel surface - that´s how you guys without zimmerit Panthers shall look like
Cheers

I would like to have a precision on this exhaust type, is it for a late panther? Or another early variant?
thank you.

Hi Cedric!
I would say Mid Ausf G, as they were introduced in October 1944 (no zimmerit).
Cheers

Ok, thank you... I'm a little lost actually in all those versions... The mid type had the same differences as an early had? Or there's again typical specificities?
I actually modified my exhaust to look like that! It looks pretty good, and exactly with 28 winglets please...
As soon as i understand how i can post i will share my custom things...
Cédric.
