German WWII mid to late war AFV Base Colour

That last Panther is bizarre.

It's a colourised photo. Could explain the odd hues.

I've also seen piccies of pink panthers (no I AM BEING SERIOUS), where the brick red had been heavily diluted.......

Not quite what you mean, but I love this: pink panther

(Apart from the bloke's quite annoying voice).

This Panther in Bovington is IIRC late war, when the Germans were running out of paint.

Yup. See comment about 4:10.

As a rule, I have always taken museum and other restorations with a grain of salt...

Wise words. The Bovington light blue Matilda was a disgrace! Even some of the images posted here are clearly very very odd.

We have some original German kit that's never been repainted or dumped outside to bleach in the sun. For my own money it's Vallejo mid stone as the mid war base colour.
