Tamiya 1:35 Pz.Kpfw.V Panther Ausf.G late version

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of German medium tank in 1:35 scale.

The crowning achievement of German engineers during the Second World War was the G version Panther. It has been designed using several years of combat experience and the latest technology. It has had a powerful 75 mm KwK 40 L/70 gun, which corresponds to the specifications and capabilities of the Soviet 122 mm cannons and surpassed their accuracy and rate of fire. The advantage of sloping front and side of The Panthers armor was projectiles bouncing off and greatly hindered the possibility of its penetration. The drive system, gearbox, and traction, which caused problems in the first versions of Pz.Kpfw. V, have been repaired and improved. This resulted in the significantly raised mobility and reliability of the tank. From March 1944 until the end of the war, less than 3 thousand Panthers Ausf. G tanks were manufactured.

Tamiya kit allows the assembly of the German medium tank of World War II Panzerkkampfwagen V Panther Type G with two crew members. The box contains 2 parts of the hull, 6 frames and model elements, rubber tracks, metal fastening screw gun, and decals (allow for the reconstruction of vehicles with 9. Or 116. Armored Divisions).

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
