Panther Ausf G Tank (2)

This is a nice kit. Doesn't come with any bells or whistles, but you get two tanks for a nice price. The models are very easy to assemble, and take paint well. A few things to note are they seem a bit larger next to tanks of the same scale. They also seem a tad on the simple side. Other than that these are nice tanks and fun to paint. Great for my next war game.

These armourfast kits are easy The treads are 1 piece and glue to the lower hull easy. The upper hull sits on the lower hull but has nothing to prevent it from moving while the glue sets so becarful of that or you will get gaps at the seams. The turret is easy the cupola is 3 pieces The main gun is also easy but will not elevate after assembly. This comes in 4 parts 2 parts are the bustle then the mantlet then the gun and finally the strip of armor over the bustle then you glue the whole thing to the turret front again there is nothing to stop this assembly from moving around so wait for the glue to set. put the pin in the bottom of turret.then put the turret on the tank. Then you will put on the exhaust and boxes on the rear of the lower hull. The last steps put on the fenders on the side this can be tricky as again no real mounts but there are tabs to set the fenders on. That leaves a tool kit canister for the side of the tank sadly there are no hull machine gun included so i had to make one and there are no decals.The other hassle the instructions on the box are out of date as they have made changes to this kit like deleting the back turret hatch piece it is now already on the turret. .
