Tamiya 1:35 Pz.Kpfw.V Panther Ausf.G w/steel wheels

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

In the course of the war, Germany increasingly began to feel the shortage of materials, which forced them to make changes in the production of armaments. Such changes were not spared for the best German medium tank - Panzerkamfwagen V Panther. Last serial version - Ausf. G - was designed as simple as possible for the assembly and production. Some of the scarce materials, such as rubber, have been reduced to a minimum, thereby tires on wheels were completely abandoned. The final stage of the war was also a moment when Germany reached for cutting-edge solutions, such as the first night-vision devices (UHU). For fear of the Allied air force dominant for the day, some of the tanks, including the Panthers, have been fitted with such equipment, allowing them to effectively conduct combat at night.

Tamiya plastic model kit allows assembly of the German medium tank - Panther Type G and one crewman. The tank can be assembled in one of two versions of traction (steel wheels or rubber grommets), along with optional equipment to night-fight. Box includes 2 parts of the hull, 8 sprues with model elements, metal screw for cannon mounting, rubber tracks and decals (allows reconstruction of vehicles from either 1., 9. or 31. Armoured Division).

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.
