JSI "Red" Panther - Do you like this color?
Hey all,
Just got a note from Badcats that they got in the new JSI Panther with VERY bright red paint. Is this paint scheme accurate? Do you guys like this color? Has anyone gotten one or seen this in person? How does it look in person?
Questions, questions....

...so that means the F-14 will have neon yellow and bright gloss gray?
There was a discussion about the JSI Panther paint scheme on another thread. From what I recall, it is an accurate late-war paintscheme. The tank was left in its red primer with the disruptive cammo patterns painted on top. That sort of cammo would have worked well in an urban setting.
Accuracy aside, I am personally not a fan of that scheme. The last 21c repaint of the Panther - along with their earlier S1 and S2 (ambush) versions - look so much better. As I have three 21c Panthers already, I am passing on this one.
My lcoal Hobbytown USA store will likely get these tanks in. If they do, I'll look it over and give a more accurate appraisal.

Looking at the pics on the jsi website the red color looks like red oxide primer. Which from my understanding would be the correct color.
