Hey Jantztim !
Yes I built and sprayed both.
Well they are the same base color mixed from TAMIYA acrylics of which I mix a larger quantity of each.
But then which each model I “modified” them a bit individually according to the input I have on the specific vehicle. The GREEN & BROWN on 215 is a little lighter in tone. The YELLOW is the same of both.
I actually never use identical colors on any of my kits … sometimes only visible if they are lined up next to each other … except for NATO-Black.
Cheers

thanks I understand, ofcourse it’s mixed haha,
but i thought if you could give me the base numbers for the colors, from there i can figure it out myself,
and make my own mix, would be great, love the patterns
Did some research and some trips to the various Ardenne museums … looks like the majority of new Panther initially had all their side-skirts prior the offensive. There is just one photo of 215 with the front right skirt visible during the first days of action.
So I decided to add the skirts … just starting with the weathering process …
The camo scheme is fiction interpretation of existing / similar ones of that period.

There was another Panther in the same unit (SS-Pz.Rgt.1 2nd Companie) with the same camo, Panther 223 which was abandoned at Stoumont train station
*I know it’s been some years past from the question but might still help 
Awesome build by the way

I’m actually tempted to build the Panther 202 after seeing yours
Especially with Dragon 6602 re-issued with Ardennes decals

Hey Bahram
There were actually quite a few Panthers with the Dots or Disks pattern.
With Dots:
… from the 1.SS # 101, 202, 215, 223
… from the 2.SS # 214 (Grandmenil) … most likely a few more from DB production
Panzer-Lehr-Div. :
… II./Pz.Reg.130 # 701 in Marnach (very similar pattern as 223)
… I./Pz.Reg.130 # 321 (showed up in Hungary Dec.44)
With Disks:
… from the 1.SS # 114, 124, 131, 225,
The 12.SS apparently not that I know of …
The were a lot of both with the 111 Pz.Brig. in Lorraine Sept. 1944 most all with Zimmerit.
But I am sure some folks here can supply some more info regarding the numbering / unit.
Cheers
