I’ve just applied the decals today. They are a bit thick but stick pretty well. RFM give you one set of registration plates plus 2 blank ones with separate numerals to create your own number.
Unfortunately there is no NATO tactical signs. I’ll see in my stash if I still have some from my Marder models.
@HermannB in addition to those on the pictures in this post could you please give some Panzergrenadier Battalion numbers so I can use appropriate decals?
Olivier
Olivier,
currently, Panzergrenadier Truppe has 5 Bataillons that are equipped with Puma. These are:
Pz Gren Btl. 92, Pz Gren Btl. 212, Pz Gren Btl.33, Pz Gren Btl.112 and Pz Gren Btl.122. The remaining 4 Bataillons will remain with their Marder1 A3/A5 for a while. As mentioned before, Pumas don´t have a tactical sign attached. Some units apply these on magnetic plates on the turret.
That is looking fantastic Olivier, the cam has been done with lovely finesse…very nice build and painting.
Olivier, one thing to note. The mats with the “hairs” at not camo painted. They remain in rubber black.
Thank you for the information. I guess I have more work ahead before beginning the weathering.
By the way it would help if you had a close picture of the folded rear view mirrors. I’d like to show them folded down as seen on most of the pictures I’ve seen.
Concerning the tactical sign I think I’ll leave the vehicle without them. I have correct ones in the stash but it is impossible to know if they are correct for this registration number.
Olivier
@HermannB Great pictures and information. Thank you for sharing.
Looking fantastic Olivier
Hi all
the beast should be ready for the weathering now unless you spot a mistake. I’ll let the paint dry to avoid bad reaction with the washes.
Olivier
Just pick up this kit at a recent show. Your build was an inspiration. Decals really bring it to life.
Fantastic Olivier, that really is a great looking build and the paint scheme stands out … The red & white chevrons are a lovely contrast and set the whole thing off… Great job
I have started the weathering and I guess I have been heavy handed. The camo seems it has vanished.
I would like to add some scratches to the sides but I can’t decide which color would be suitable.
Olivier
Looks like a hard day at Bergen-Hohne Truppenübungsplatz. Excellent work! 
Ahhhh Bergen- Hohne … Nice memories 
Olivier, if its been used on exercise for week, then it looks perfect… And it does
Have to agree with @Johnnych01 it has the I’ve been in the field doing armor/Panzer stuff look rather than the the this my 2nd day in the field look.
Very nice A++
Olivier, I am with the others, this is great. You can still see the camo work but it is blended nicely. I think it is the perfect amount for this kit, you could even say it could be more!
It’s now official Olivier… You’ve been out voted… Weathering is perfect !!
I have to agree with what the others guys have said- the weathering is pitch perfect and brings the whole vehicle to life nicely.
'Looks just fine to me Olivier - excellent finish.
To me it looks great also, quite often the dust almost hides the camo.
If you want to make some scratches, I would use a (not excessively ) light green, specially on green areas. And of course very thin.
