does any one know if there is reference to late type jagdpanthers with late type hard edge camo scemes with zim applied?

The timeframe works against you there I'm afraid Andy. The application of zim ended in Aug '44 and the introduction of the hard edge schemes came about in Sept-Oct '44. As a result, you would not likely find a hard-edge scheme on a JP with zim unless it was done by the crew in the field with a brush.

The PE work is coming along nicely, your efforts and patience are paying off!

Hi ,Andy great work so far, I love it when somebody takes one of these oldies and starts to remake/remodel in in their own style and give it a really high quality finish. As for the camo question........ well I have not seen late hard edge with zimm. I have some photos from the factory towards the end of the war and hard edge no zimm. Actually stripes over primer.

I will check for you and postaASAP. I could always be wrong as happens in this hobby when you state something, somebody just pops up a photo of the subject.

Good luck.

Terry.

P.S. Remake/remodel, wasn't that a song by Roxy Music?

That's one mighty fine beast, that PE work is amazing, really, the zimm and PE are just screaming to me, (although it appears they are screaming "don't get any ideas, this is over your head!!" to me.)

Very nicely done, I can't wait to see some paint and your exemplary weathing on her.

A very elegant terracotta Panther at the moment Bodge. Looks like something from a Chinese emperor's burial mound The zimmerit is great and I am looking forward to seeing it painted and weathered.

Andy - I have been watching and I hear you about the time for details....somehow I think that is the fun (and frustration) of modeling. Otherwise we would just all be assemblers!.

Somehow...the red primer looks interesting....(but then again I am strange)

Nice work as always. Always a pleasure to watch

Rounds Complete!!

Right there with ya bro!

New furniture, daughter visiting, mad flood in the master bath has left me with little time also.

I'm loving this build though, stay the course.

Oh no you did what I told you to do, why?
Lasci la pistola. Porti le cannoli.

FANtastic.

The texturing and scratchbuilt detailing are exquisite.  Enjoying the WIP shots of the paint layering to add depth...very informative.

I understand busy....sometimes it is a struggle to get to thr bench.

Head up, looking good....you will get there!
