Love the more realistic/historical style you accomplished here. Well done! Saying that I don't mind a lot of the others going crazy with the rot and rust, but this is my favorite 100%
The Panther, being one of my favorite tanks, is one I watch all the buil videos I can. I've seen this one several time and may I say that it is still one of the best I've seen on U-tube.
Thank you very much, I'm not sure I deserve such a compliment. There are things I really dont like on this one, the camo was very rewarding though. Thanks again though.
Adam thanks a bunch for taking your time to do the video like this, showing all the process and w/ voiceover it's really a treat to watch. warts et al end result is still lovely. kudos.
Thank you for describing your painting process along with demonstrating it. So many painting videos show but don't really describe what they are doing. Very helpful Adam!
Nice work Adam, Gods speed with that , right on , inspiring . I know time is hard , bench time is precious . The weathering is subtle , perhaps the hair spray chipping method , and modulation in the tri camo scheme. Your work is spot on!!!! Right on ! So many details , well done Thanks for sharing
I really like the more subtle weathering that you do here Adam. For my taste, I don't think everything needs to look like it's been beat to shit, and then driven through a swamp.
Have bin watching this video many times over and over again. You aren´t only good at modeling, but also making videos! Looks really realistic an keep it up. Best regards Erik hansson!
PANTHER.......!!!! My all time favourite tank. Very interesting cammo spray technique Adam; will give it a go on next Panther build (Zvezda Ausf. D) Really hooked on the KAIZEN tracks too, thanks to your review back in April.
Excellent work. Love the camo and weathering. very well done. I didn't know that Wilder made pigments. I agree with your chipping method as it does give some depth to the scratches on the vehicle.
Hello Adam, I do hope your well and having a great start to the new year. I’m just about to start one of these and have found this video invaluable. Plenty of side notes on instructions thanks to your experiences with it. Thanks for such a great video of a brilliant build, well done you. Take care, best wishes to you and family. Hope to see more of your videos soon. Ken.
Yip....watched the video again! Need to get a couple of Panthers now, for my Wiking and Nordland! Informative, educational, inspiring and entertaning as always Adam!
I just finished the panther ausf d by Tamiya and this vid was very helpful on the camo job I did, it was based off of the late war battle of Kursk camo.
Great work, really liked your step by step walk through, the pace was just right and like many others I really enjoyed the music. Subscribed and soon to be watching more of your videos.
Great job Adam! I agree with your "not too much weathering" on a late war tank. I recently did a Jagdtiger and barely did anything other than a wash. Those things were not around long enough to get chipped paint or rust. It is hard to leave them looking like new but for a vehicle that saw action for a month or two at most that's probably they way they looked. Your videos are great.
She's beautiful, Adam. Excellent job with the video too. I appreciate the zoom-ins - no one does it better. By the way, I prefer a less weathered look so don't let other modelers get in your head. Also your technique of air brushing with small, thin strokes is a brilliant insight. I think it recreated an extremely realistic pattern.
Hey, man. I just watched your video. Very impressive. I know you said you were dissatisfied with the clear-coat result but when it comes down to it you took light 'plasticy' styrene and made it look like heavy plate steel. Kudos.
Well Done Adam!!! I love the Buff tamiya choice, excellent in scale choice, its what you see. I tend to use the buff as well on German Armor. Anyway Adam, thank you for sharing Cheers! Just a note, Archer dry transfers....they take a few times to get use to. But i think they are superior , just a note
Very well done man. you're a real pro. I like how you describe such details. I personally don't use an airbrush or and of the stuff you use I use the Tamiya spray can stuff and brush paint my camo which is sometimes turns out OK.
little hint for wooden handles rub 320 Grit over handle in a length motion , leaves tiny sunked lines like wood grain then paint and the wash will sit in the lows just nice ..
Hey Adam panther came up fantastic, theres no right or wrong way of painting/weathering. Everyone has different perspective of what it should look like, colour tones drives you crazy if u think about too much. some things u talked about when u were making the kit sounded familiar to me. Great thing about model making is that once you finish a model that ur reasonably happy with u can grap another one and go through the whole thing again - steep learning curve but still fun. Cheers
Really good job on this panther I really like the camouflage and don’t worry about the dust under the clearcoat it happens to me all the time..... I saw you used Tamiya Flat Black as a primer I use NATO black but it seems that after I primed the model with the acrylics I let it dry a couple of days and I go over it with Tamiya Xf-60 It gets like a gritty feel does this happen to you also when outing Tamiya acrylic on top of Tamiya acrylic
I just re-read your comment. I used to get a lot of orange peel, had to do with a few things. Too high of pressure, not thinning paint enough and being too far away from the model.
Thank you for the response I’ve tried everything and I’m still getting a slight gritty finish with the Tamiya acrylic ..... panzermiester suggested that I try thinning it 2 parts thinner to 1 part paint .... I’ve been using to TS 3 rattle can for the time being I got to be an expert at controlling the paint comes out.... looking forward to another video from you 😊
Ever video I watch brings a little more respect from me as to your talents. it's a toss up as to who is better you, or "Panzermeister 36". I think however that you are a bit more of a rivet counter ( which is not a bad thing in my opinion) while he always seems to be genuinely surprised when his models turn out fantastic. At any rate I am humbled by either one of you. Thanks again for the interesting and inspiring videos.
Thanks man, I actually agree very much with your points on Evan and myself. I tend to get caught up on the technical aspects of vehicles and he is very go with the flow. I envy his outlook in a lot of ways. We build models while talking on Skype quite a bit so he tries to help me be less stuck on things, and I explain tool clamps and track types to him. You're too kind though.
Thanks man.You are absolutely correct about the pin marks. The original plan was to cover them up with spare tracks and I decided to just finish the video without them. I'll have to add something there to cover it up.
Hi there great video thanks for sharing the process. Could you please tell me what what is the name and where can I able to buy those masking circles for the wheels. They looks like a really handy tool to have as im always struggle painting with hand . Thanks in advance best regards Danny
Cracking build right there, just goes to show that the age of kit isn't necessary to make something beautiful. Love the editing style too, might have employ (poach) some techniques for my channel.
Been away from the modelling for awhile and what'ya know Adam builds a nice Pather G! Very nice weathering....a small idea if I may, try weathering powers for the model instead of dot filters, I use a fan brush and use circular motions, to me it's more realistic since they got dirty this way anyhow...but of course just a suggestion. Great You tube channel......
Hi, the wire cutter handles were made from Bakelite (wood chips compressed in resin, a primative plastic) not the "Presstof" laminated compressed fiber/paper/resin. Germans wore hobnailed boots so the paint would be scratched down to bare metal in many points the crew used to mount the Panzer. But the Auf G likely didn't get as many boarding/dismounting cycles before it was issued then destroyed, as you mentioned.
im going to build a panther soon too scale 1/35 from tamiya... the aneversirary box with metal gun barrel and such... as i normaly always builded airplanes, .... i am looking forward to it. but im gonna take it slow date time expected to be ready some where next year :)
The paints that the tank crew would be given come in the form of a very thick paste, which the crew would have to thin, before applying it with a spray gun and/or brush. Although there would have been instructions provided regarding the ratio of paint to thinner, it is very likely that those instructions would not be followed very carefully by crews who were near the front lines & having to apply camo to their tank during a brief lull in the fighting. Also, using a brush would produce different results than a spray gun. So, I suspect that the darkness of the camo colours varied a lot from tank to tank. In some cases the greens & red-brown could be very dark, and in some cases the colours could be very light.
What do you think of using dark in recessed and panel line areas...then having the rest light coloured? Saw it with modern armour. Good for WW 2 armour? Thanks for filming the whole camo process.
Hi, I am a newbie to airbrushing and using masking solution and need your expert suggestion on how to properly remove the masking solution without scratching the underlying base paint I applied. I am working on a Tamiya Leopard A4 and the two-color camouflage scheme requires that I first airbrush a layer of red brown, applied masking solution to outline the camouflage pattern, then airbrush the olive drab over the red brown and the masking solution. But maybe I applied too thin a layer of masking solution or too thick a layer of the olive drab paint, when I tried to remove the masking solution using a small tweezers, I always scratched the underlying red brown paint. And since I applied a thin layer of masking solution (I used the Mr. Hobby Masking Sol R), it’s become difficulty to discern the contour of the masking solution under the 2 layer of the olive drab paint! Do you have any suggestion? As a last resort, I might just spray over the scratched surface and use the one-color camouflage scheme. Thanks for any suggestions!
Tamiya acrylic paint is very susceptible to scratching. My thoughts are you needed to clear coat the base before chipping fluid. Or maybe even use a primer red as your base coat as those are lacquer paints.
Lovely video as always I had a Panther question, not G but about the D. Were there any Ds with turret smoke launchers present in Normandy? And were spare wheels on the turret or hull common at Kursk or was this not widely recognized until after the battle?
Hi Adam, great work as usual, I'm currently doing Tamyia's 1/35 Tiger IH and want to model Tiger 131, i am however stumped on what colour of base paint to use? A desert tan? What exactly would give the best results to the historic colours?
Great video! I thoroughly enjoyed that, and I do like the music. Some might not but it was that cool type of electronic I like and not that crazy dance type stuff you sometimes hear on these videos. I do have a question for you: when you're doing the camouflage in those thin little lines, are you spraying the paint any more thinned dow than you usually would? Or is it just thin coats as it let paint being sprayed? That camouflage looks beautiful and I wish I could do something like that; you used a great technique to apply it. Thanks for the video, and foe the mention at one point there too haha :D
4th time watching this video already....it's so great! The issue you had with the gloss coat is exactly why I never ever use one on my models. I always seal (when I rarely do) with a matte coat as that allows the later effects to work well on the surface. Oils on a matte finish is much easier if you're aiming for that faded look.
Love the finish on your Panther G... currently I am building a Panther G and plan to paint it as one of the tanks from this division with the same Camo . One of the things that kind of has me thinking ... is the exhaust which I weather and finished with a primer oxide color. I wanted to know where did you find your referance and if you are willing to share. I'm curious about how weather they got and especially with covered exhaust..
Truth be told I have no idea what the exhaust should look like. I've seen restorations paint them black, and I've seen them look like a hull color. I don't have any particular references of Panther that are special. Are you looking for something specific? Maybe I can help you hunt it down.
@@AdamMann3D I think I found a technique to painting the flame suppressor exhaust just right for me. I did a little internet research and found what you mention about the restoration Panthers having the exhaust painted black (gloss black). I think it would be better to paint them more like a 55 gal flat black bbq that has been out in the rain.

I really appreciate your honesty, very refreshing. Don't stop
My father was in this Division and was a gunner in this tank. He loved it and said it was the best tank on the eastern front.
I somewhat doubt that 🤔

Love your work bench. It has all the right stuff, now I what my work bench will look like,Adam.
Absolutely love it! The G variant is my most favourite one of the 3. And i loved how you kept it "factory fresh"
Hardly factory fresh. Looks right on point though, for a normal fielded Panther g, at the time though.
Nice work Adam, Gods speed with that , right on , inspiring .
I know time is hard , bench time is precious .
The weathering is subtle , perhaps the hair spray chipping method , and modulation in the tri camo scheme.
Your work is spot on!!!!
Right on !

this is a great insight as to why mine are to dark. I am putting on to much paint, much to fast! Thanks again!
It took me a long time to figure out how to get camo right.
Great job!!thanks for posting this video

Hi, the wire cutter handles were made from Bakelite (wood chips compressed in resin, a primative plastic) not the "Presstof" laminated compressed fiber/paper/resin. Germans wore hobnailed boots so the paint would be scratched down to bare metal in many points the crew used to mount the Panzer. But the Auf G likely didn't get as many boarding/dismounting cycles before it was issued then destroyed, as you mentioned.
I mean you know I have an original wire cutter here and made a video on it right?
Thanks Adam

I did a post build review on that Tamiya Panther not long ago. It's lovely.
For the equipment, tamiya gunmetal or tamiya metallic gray works
I agree about tamiya german green being way to dark, by the time you filter over the top or do a grime wash it almost looks black.
The paints that the tank crew would be given come in the form of a very thick paste, which the crew would have to thin, before applying it with a spray gun and/or brush. Although there would have been instructions provided regarding the ratio of paint to thinner, it is very likely that those instructions would not be followed very carefully by crews who were near the front lines & having to apply camo to their tank during a brief lull in the fighting.
