I only saw the Panthers at TRU - and I passed on them - I bought the Bradley instead - for My GIjoes

didn't some of the winter panthers go to WM?

Anyway.....there were no panzer grey Panthers (in real life i mean). By the time the Panther came out the Germans had switched to the 3 color scheme with dark yellow base coat.

The Panther is long overdue for a reissue, without question..

I agree. The Panther is one beautiful piece of armor.

Just winter Tigers at WM, no Panthers. Diecast in MW boxes to boot. Don't get me wrong, would love another Panther for the ranks.

As for a grey one, I know they didn't come out of the factory that way (unless towards the end there was no other paint - up for debate) but there is a cool color profile in a Squadron Signal book of a Berlin 1945 Panther in grey with brown camo. Very cool. I attempted a custom but of course it didn't quite capture the pic so well..

i've seen that picture.....it does look good. Fact is it was probably painted dark green and red primer.

Here is my feable attempt - properly hidden under the Dora and amongst other versions:

Nope no Panthers at Wally only e-tailers or T R U. I sure wish that they would come out at Wallys.

Digger ,
It seems that you have a lot of pinned up fustration. Have you taken a nice relaxing XD shower latley?

That's quite a nice collection you have going there, digger. You've been the busy little xder.

Your panther repaint looks pretty good, from what i can see of it; very reminiscent of the picture i saw..
