Another Panther with late "strawberrycake" camouflage
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Seen at Bovington Tankfest, the post-war REME-built Panther belonging to the Bovington Museum, recently repainted with a late "strawberry cake" camouflage : <The colours used for the camo appear to be the same than the ones used for the SDKFZ Foundation late Jagdpanther : Pierre-Olivier _________________ soldat_ryan @ hotmail.com Looking for photos of Sherman manufacturer's plates

The paint scheme on the JP is correct for a late version (base coat of primer rot RAL 8012 and dunkelgelb RAL 7028 and with it outlined with weiss RAL 9002). The one on the Panther is new to me. Nice pics though.

It's probably just their attempt to get the same effect. When I saw the scheme first a few years ago I thought it was still unfinished! _________________ Trevor Dr Trevor Larkum Preserved Tanks: PreservedTanks.com Armour Archive: ArmourArchive.co.uk EVs

HA! It would have been better to have left it dunkelgelb but it's not my tank!
