Great model! Excellent performance! What colors of paint were used? I'm working on the same thing and can't decide on a yellow-green color 🙁

I mix the colors by myself. The Green is a mixture from Tamiya with Medium Green, White and a few Drops of Yellow. I really like the color, she looks really good.
The light Grey-Brown is in reality more a really dark Brown-Grey (i received a picture from the actual tank yesterday). For the next time, i would use the faded IDF Sinai Grey (066) from Ammo of Mig, as suggested in the painting guide, maybe with some additional drops of White.

Album info

The KF51 "Panther" kit is really fun to build. With some small modifications you can even make the running gear fully movable. To do this, simply remove the detent on the respective swing arm and insert a 2mm round profile as a torsion bar.
The masking foils are worth their weight in gold, otherwise I would never have done the camouflage pattern to myself. Or you would have had to wait until the aftermarket offers something appropriate.
This was also my first half serious attempt at figure painting. I intentionally aged the tank only discreetly, after all it is a quasi-mint vehicle. Some sand and dust, that's enough.
