Hi Jamie
Only a handful of these were built and photos of them are limited.
The two options that come to me are to do it as per the box art of primer
red base with limited stripes. A photo of such a vehicle with nbr 221 is
well known and has a few spare tracks on the turret. This fits in with
offical piant schemes for Sept 44 and one v clear factory style photo.
According to some sources this AFV was used by LSAH at Stoumont in the BOB.
The other option for painting is as per the following

Ron Volstadt used this scheme for one in the BOB (Also 221 of LSAH) and its
a fair interpretation of some photos from PZ Rgt 24 in Aachen (only visible
marking likely to be cross on front of side plates plenty of spare tracks on
turret).
PS don't use the infra red with the steel wheeled Panther if you want
historical accuracy |
