I got into this a bit when researching my latest Panther project.

It is by no means detailed but here is a little reference info.

The Hl Panther G represents a late-war version, made in Oct. 1944 - on.



HL Panther, time-frame

Sept 1944:

- Chin Mantlet ("Kinnblende") introduced

Oct. 1944:

- Flame eliminator for tail pipes
- Crew compartment heater (seen on left side, rear deck)

These features set it as Oct. 1944 and beyond.


Finish Notes;

No Zimmerit, that was discontinued in Sept 1944

Oct 1944, Ambush Camo stopped

Dec. 20, 1944, Dark Green became the base colour


Of course, lots of people happily make them up in earlier camo colours/patternssuch as used on the A's and D's and they still look good
