Here's my newest skin, for the Jagdpanther.  It's a variant of the "ambush" pattern.  The skin should be used without the default Balkenkreuz, so you should have the blank Grafitti file (I've included one in the directory).  You should also use the Jagdpanther_SM.dds file I've included, since the default version of this file makes the vehicle far too reflective.  The Zusatzsymbol (unit symbol) is that of my circle of friends who play together sometimes as a platoon; the vehicle is the first (command) vehicle of the Stabszug (command platoon) of 3 Kompanie, Ersatz-Abteilung Tauxenent, "Dem Sensenmänner" (The Grim Reapers).  Yeah, I plagiarized and modified a tattoo I found in an image search, but as far as I could tell the image is in the public domain and isn't copyrighted.  At first, I was going to offer only a generic version of this skin, without our group's Zusatzsymbol, but then I figured, hey, it's the only way any of you will ever see the symbol on MY Jagdpanther!  The link to the folder which contains the *.dds files and some additional images is:

As always, comments are welcome.  Enjoy the skin!

Thanks for the interest!  Well, I'm currently working on a somewhat odd skin for a friend of mine who prefers to play American (he was actually an armor officer in the U.S. Army), but loves the German Leopard light tank.  It's an American-type paint job on a "captured" Leopard, with a custom symbol for him (a stylized, angry-looking rat) and the nickname he uses in most games he plays (Swamp Rat, although I guess that name was taken in WoT and he had to modify it somewhat).  The chipped paint and rust is pretty extensive and is taking some time, but I should have it done today unless the wife has an extensive "honey do" list for me.    I'll be doing an ambush pattern similar to this one for the Jagdpanther II when it's introduced, and for the Panther II.  I've not yet tried changing the tank models so I can work on vehicles I don't have, but I may do that soon.  I've heard that the current custom skins may not work in 7.0, and that concerns me a bit.  I wish WoT would implement a system where we could create custom skins that reside on the server, and are loaded when each battle loads, so players would see one another's custom skins.  Oh well, maybe someday.

I would love an ambush pattern VK 3601h with the words "Die Schmerzen Zug" on it, like in my A day in the life of a VK.
