Green and yellow or green and brown? There have been few debates raging on modelling bulletin boards that generate more polarised views than these 11 th Panzer Division Panthers photographed in Bavaria in 1945. I have spent many hours agonising over the few remaining photographs, trying to decide which is correct. My conclusion, based on the minimal contrast between the light and dark areas on the tank is that it was green and brown. I can almost hear some of you groaning as you are reading this. Anyway, I shall tell you a little bit about the model. Dragon's 'Smart Kit' series started with this Panther back in 2006. The idea was that everything you needed to build an outstanding model should be in the box. An excellent model of the Panther can be built from this kit, but as ever, improvements can be made. Assembly begins with the lower hull. Here individual torsion bars are installed which can be adjusted to suit the builder's requirements. The design of each torsion bar varies depending on where it is installed, so careful noting of part numbers is essential.
