The Cologne battle is covered in the book “Spearhead by Adam Makos. The book follows this crew through the war. A “you should read it” read…if you haven’t. There is video of the tank battle.
Tom, yes. Order a tank from your list AND do a dual build of what you have.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I’ve already read that book. A fast read that throws you right into the action from the get-go. I’ve read 3 of Adam Makos books …
A Higher Call, Spearhead, and Devotion.
Voices of the Pacific is his newest book I received as a Christmas gift last year that I have not read yet.

That link you provided is extremely helpful for me. Thank you.
Looking at the color photos of the burned out Panther, this confirms me it is the same 2 color scheme - Dunkelgelb Dark Yellow / Olivgrun Olive Green, not the 3 color scheme of dark yellow/olive green/red brown.
Now I need to find PE Zimmert for this bad boy. I know Eduard has them. May have to order them ASAP if they’re still available. Might as well order the Pershing and maybe a “Jumbo” Sherman.

Don’t use Photo Etch Zimmerit, that stuff is terrible and does not represent the true contours of the stuff. Look for some Cavalier brand stuff or something similar.
