New German Armor with something other than a Desert Paint Job..... ?

The yellow/mustard paint is not a desert color.  It was the standard base color.

Panthers were delivered in plain dark yellow from the factory up until late 1944. This was standard camo for German armour in the 43-44 timeframe. The army depots or front line units camouflaged the vehicles with green and red brown paint as needed. From Sept 44 the tanks were camouflaged in the factory. Three colour camo schemes were applied direct to the primer to save paint and unseen areas were just left in primer. In 1945 the official scheme changed again, Panthers were supposed be painted base green with the other two camo colours applied above. However in reality all sorts of schemes were used as paint supplies dwindled.

The default Panther is from Kampfgruppe Peiper and was knocked out in an ambush near Stoumont in the Battle of the Bulge. It has a late 1944 MAN factory three colour camo scheme applied onto primer. I picked this scheme because it has more green in it than an earlier Panther and so would blend in with the MA terrain better.

I've done several skins for the Panther with earlier schemes and zimmerit paste applied, I'll post screenshots in the skins forum once the new version is out.
