1/16 Heng Long Jagdpanther Camo

Post by ostketten » Mon Apr 13, 2009 5:18 am

This an early shot of the two tone Camo scheme applied over the basecoat on my 1/16 HL Jagdpanther RC that is in the process of being custom painted and weathered by our member Cabe. There is still much to be done, but I think it looks pretty sweet so far. 8) I'll post some more pics of this project as it moves along. Click the thumbnail to enlarge...

Excellent paint job.

I had always thought German Tri-Color Camo started with a dark yellow as the base color, this seems more like a lime green. Was this a common Base color on German Panzers?

Great job,
I can't wait to see more.
