Guys,

Thank you for your suggestions sofar. I came to the same conclusion that most drawings and pictures i have seen are primarily yellow and green camo's wheras my own painting suggestions call for a three tone blotched scheme.

Must say i do like the number 535 tank...

EDIT: I might add that the little B&W drawing that revell of germany usually puts on the front of their instruction manuals shows a Panther D in a late war ambush scheme.... Hence i take these painting instructions with a big pinch of salt. I would rather depict a correctly camo-ed Pz.V with an incorrect turret number than have it correctly decalled and painted wrong...

Remember that the ausf D was in very small numbers at Kursk.  Your options aren't that many...

In situations like this, unless you can say with confidence that every single Panther D at Kursk HAD been photographed and you could rule OUT a certain specific camo scheme, I would say to do your own based loosely on the general orientation of camo scheme and color used there. Why not? You'll have an accurate Panther D that's a little unique from everyone else's.

Here's a pic from 'Panther In Action' by Squadron Publications.This is one of my favs.

I used another pic as a reference for the right side.

The front and rear were my imagination.
