I would like some Inspirational OR even a prime picture or even a Die cast Panther D picture Non-Zimmerit prefered althought I could just Ignore Zimm.
If no pictures how about a unique but accurate (maybe not perfectly but close) camoflauge or unique color .
Ill even post pictures if it goes well.
What Im really looking for is how to "decorate it" with extras and especially a good cammo paint scheme
to paint the model

this one is probably your best bet. a factory fresh D in a solid yellowish paint scheme:

Have you ever seen the broad grey stripes over the dark yellow base color? It was used in late '41,'42 and early '43. It was an attempt at an "All Season" camoflage. BTW ive also seen the reverse of the pattern on grey based vehicles as well.

that scheme wasnt used on Panthers. IIRC it was only used on PZ1, PZ2, and some PZ3.

I have a book at home here that shows D & E model PzIV's in that pattern. I have also seen pics of early Tiger I's in the Grey base color with Dark yellow Stripes painted over the base color. The reverse camo scheme.
