It's interesting they've put on Zimmerit, though I don't believe it originally had any.

The 88 looks like the way I used to paint my old Airfix models Smile

large areas covered by Zimmerit have been found on the lower hull walls (the area behind the road wheels). That's why they decided to put zimmerit on it.

yeah, at Saumur you never know how it will end up..

I think that's a shame - there are lots of Panthers around in German camouflage, but there were only 2 in FF markings.

...and thus far no one has chosen to reproduce the famous pink ones from Vietnam! Wink

Pity, there are too many "factory fresh" restorations out there, just conserving, replacing the missing bits & displaying it with its history would have (IMHO) been better.
