Late DB Panther color primer

Though you guys might like to see the pics I am working from for the painting of my DB Panther. Now I am unsure of the copyrights, but needless to say they are widely available on the net and are placed here for discussion only. There has been endless debate over on Missing Lynx and other armor websites about interpretation of B&W photographs, and for good reason. If interested do a search there and after a couple of hours...well gouge your eyes out from boredom and decide for yourself! Me I am firmly in the Lightest is dark yellow (maybe in some instances on late Tiger IIs an ivory color, but for now let's not muddy things up) next the "in-between shade" is green, then the darkest is red-brown. All applied at the factory and following a similar pattern. Tight soft edge sprayed, maybe stenciled, but the slight differences in each would suggest freehand. The two examples I have posted here show the shade differences pretty well, as well as the lighter road wheels, which lead me to believe Daimler Benz was still using dark yellow as a base after the other two factories had switched to green. As for my kitty, she will be toned down a lot by the time I am done, but hopefully I will still capture the vivid pattern used on these last Panthers.
