Panther Ausf. G Hermann Göring Division - Painting and Weathering

[@PatrickMcTie]

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.

[@Dark_Asteroid]

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.

[@cfranko1860]

I somewhat doubt that 🤔

[@carlhenriksen3185]

🐂 💩

[@zachnar0125]

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%

[@kenjohnston8173]

I really appreciate your honesty, very refreshing. Don't stop

[@jamesmorgan9474]

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.

[@loretta3791]

James Morgan my favorite to panthe g is amazing

[@MrGameengineer]

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!

[@randypurtteman1183]

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.

[@AdamMann3D]

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.

[@laMoort]

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.

[@RedDragonModelWerks]

That's a good looking Panther Adam. Stellar job dude

[@donfrandsen7778]

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

[@13bravo72]

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.

[@吉井冬児]

Nice making and painting 👍 I like Hermann Goring division 👍

[@johnphilipburdis3798]

Love your work bench. It has all the right stuff, now I what my work bench will look like,Adam.

[@michaelmichael5643]

that's the thing about learning the more you learn the less you know and then you must learn more... nice build , thank you.

[@robertvoss6145]

fantastic result on the panther . a very informative video

[@kennethcampbell1962]

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.

[@JALEO1970]

Really nice finish. I like how the filter and washes enriched the camo.

[@kurtwk]

Watching this video while I work on my 1/35 Panther 😃. It’s really inspiring and relaxing at the same time.

[@Duececoupe]

Now, that's a beautiful kitten! Fantastic work Adam! 👍👌👏

[@johnburdis5352]

Your Panther came out cool,Adam. Great paint and weathering job, mate. Fantastic.

[@nightchaser1478]

Absolutely love it! The G variant is my most favourite one of the 3. And i loved how you kept it "factory fresh"

[@zachnar0125]

Hardly factory fresh. Looks right on point though, for a normal fielded Panther g, at the time though.

[@donfrandsen7778]

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

[@Duececoupe]

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!

[@longlance67]

nice work mate, really liked the music I have to say ! it was like watching Bladerunner lol

[@inthelionsden6335]

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.

[@erickirwan8703]

Camo process didn't bore me one bit, I was fascinated. You've done a great job as usual.

[@ArmourEmpire]

Nice work Adam. Very cool result

[@mediocreworker1234]

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!

[@51starmouredinfantry84]

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.

[@AdamMann3D]

Nice, always glad when one of my videos is of use.

[@georgebrown6540]

As always Adam, yet another fantastic build and video, thanks for sharing.

[@KruegerleDE]

I love your work, i love the way you present it and i love the music. Everything is great !!! Please do more like this.

[@michaelsmeltzer1105]

Very nice job Adam.

[@andy909]

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.

[@roubaixrider1]

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.

[@AdamMann3D]

Thanks very much, it's hard to convince people that just a bit of weathering is ok sometimes.

[@johnphilipburdis3798]

Good job on the H G Panther G, A D. Great weathering.

[@steveningram8798]

Great work ! love the panther G

[@willabe566]

Your work is very professional, well done :)

[@paulrandall7724]

Great looking panther Adam 👍

[@neilmackay7475]

very cool video buddy I watch all your work thanks for all the tips happy new year

[@longlance67]

Just revisited this video, this a quality adventure

[@AdamMann3D]

I airbrushed today and I can't do half this good anymore sir. Not even close.

[@longlance67]

@@AdamMann3D it's all down to re-familiarising yourself with your method, I had the same hurdle after painting for a few months

[@brobots240]

Great video. I'd love to see a video on some of your old collection you talk about....

[@lionelmoorhouse5528]

Looks great, working on same tank at moment.

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Nicely done Adam

[@zachnar0125]

Really like the mix matched wheel colors.

[@tonyde6423]

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

[@Tiger1AuasfE]

Very nice work, i enjoyed the video.

[@bucknertarsney7674]

Adam, that’s a great looking Panther. Thanks for the video and thoughtful commentary along the way. When will we see some new content from you?!?!

[@AdamMann3D]

As soon as I can manage. I had a baby, switched jobs and am still in the middle of moving. But when I can I'll get back to it.

[@brobro72]

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.

[@Damo3445]

Brillint video, and very mush a good inspiration for me and my weatehring techniques.

[@richardb3882]

Hi Adam, I enjoyed your video and liked the way your were explaining your thought process, gj :)

[@andrewjerome2157]

This project turned out great! Love these videos and I appreciate the amount of work you put into making these!

[@ke1stcav]

Adam as usual very nice work.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Unbelievable Adam, looks fantasy. Just saw this channel and I smashed that subscribe button:)

[@adlerarmory8382]

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.

[@AdamMann3D]

I mean you know I have an original wire cutter here and made a video on it right?

[@D.Gaming-78]

Making one right now ,nice work

[@alvinsmith5346]

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.

[@МодельныйМарш]

Great job, workshop!!!

[@chromewarrior7959]

this is a great insight as to why mine are to dark. I am putting on to much paint, much to fast! Thanks again!

[@AdamMann3D]

It took me a long time to figure out how to get camo right.

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Well done Adam.

[@robertarnold6672]

I love the background music to this video. Where can I download it from? Nice Panther btw.

[@mumtazyildiz1538]

wonderful work congrats

[@merlinderoy3730]

Sehr schöner Panther geworden. Tolles Video. 👏

[@thattanknerd2274]

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.

[@allgood6760]

Awesome build! 👍🇳🇿

[@GaryArmstrongmacgh]

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.

[@waltervanvooren994]

Great job!!thanks for posting this video

[@revhead5420]

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 ..

[@AdamMann3D]

I'll try that.

[@jannypaarhuis274]

Looks beautifull Nice video

[@MattStunts-]

very nice looking model, good job :) my only one note is the mount for spare tracks- i seen some injection pin marks.

[@AdamMann3D]

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.

[@MattStunts-]

+Adam Mann just add spare track links or tarp and model will be great.

[@KayserEin]

this is a really good video, and has inspired me to get on with it! Good job, both the model and the vid

[@Android-rz8mb]

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

[@AdamMann3D]

Thanks very much. I've recently got some NATO black. I'll be giving it a try soon. I think I'll be doing less clear coats in general.

[@AdamMann3D]

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.

[@Android-rz8mb]

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 😊

[@Adamslee72]

great vid Adam some nice tips there too subbed

[@milky55way2012]

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......

[@Toni_G_Castroviejo]

Awesome work! Well done, mate! :)

[@AdamMann3D]

Thank you Toni.

[@randypurtteman1183]

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.

[@AdamMann3D]

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.

[@evilwarcow]

[@opsimathics]

splendid job, I love it

[@Emtbtoday]

I was experimenting with life colours German tri camo colours i got handed to me from my hobby shop for free because never had any others in stock it was nice surprise! I don't have the German uniform colours yet but mixed abit of olivgrun with a dad of schokoladen rotbraun and it made the nicest green grey I have ever mixed that is spot on for field grey! I have done one figures jacket and its unbelievably convincing and mixed a russian blue out the patriotic war air paints and abit of rotbraun and it's the nicest panzer grey they call it in Tamiya vallejo I know German grey as schwartzgrau but done this for the tank crew mechanics shirts for my bergepanther loving experimenting with these 6 shades of dunkelgelb and a scohkoladen rotbraun! The lighter dunkelgelb shades of yellow the the Gelbbraun and sandgrau are great shades for there blonde hair and eye brows haha! It's my first time I have actually sat down and really tried and been serious on figures I normally don't do them because think I can't! But yes I can I kept telling myself I couldn't and getting worked up when thought about it but absolutely loving doing them just now!away to start the mini art panzer 3 B/D with panzer 4 cupola a d hull with panzer 3 turret and the lovely wooden crates on the back! The tracks are perfect there hollow whare guide horns are and thin guide horns got the stug series 0 coming in tomorrow with the new airfix 1.35 Heter early version! There Academy's product's just a rebox for airfix I had a look in the box on Saturday there really nice! You know it's no airfix kit haha!

[@johansoons8413]

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 :)

[@AdamMann3D]

I did a post build review on that Tamiya Panther not long ago. It's lovely.

[@sprocket580]

try a product called run n buff. its a silver paste . Apply a tiny bit to your finger tip and rub it in. it does the most realistic rubbed metal. Michael's carries it.

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?

[@AdamMann3D]

I haven't personally seen one, but that doesn't mean that they weren't there for sure. I'll have a look around. I know As were there.

[@ethan5354]

Adam Mann Thanks

[@HamilkarBarkasScaleModelling]

so how does it feel, the sensation of having this piece finished and published? :) very cool model and demo on how you approach things! the wheels are indeed a bit too greyish/dirty but that is not necessarily unrealistic, but maybe aesthetically not the most pleasing look.

[@damianbiodrowski1944]

Very appropriate music-I love New Retro Wave.

[@mytdck1]

If you were to spray thinned buffed from 12" away before the weathering; it'll tone down the overall "loudness" of the camo! Still another great video.

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?
