1/35 German Panther Medium Tank Product Number: TAM35065 Manufacturer: Tamiya |
|
The first mass produced Panther type D was not equipped with a machine gun but after the experience of close battle. A 7.92mm MG 34 was added to the Panther's right front hull armament beginning with its type A. The special feature of the Panther was the left and right driving mechanism. This created an interchangeability of movements, using the torsion bar system. By 1944, the Panther was further improved from Type A to Type G with a change in its side shape. Product Features

Most Helpful Reviews An older kit, but with some nice details

This kit has some nice details, despite being an older Tamiya production. My favorite features were how the hatches could open after assembly, particularly the escape hatch at the back of the turret, and the ball-mounted machine gun at the front of the tank body.

Great Model

This is a great model kit. I would reccomend it for all skill levels. The one thing I dislike is the size. It seems a little large for 1/35th Scale. Other than that, I loved this model, and the quality of this with the technology they had back in the 70's is amazing. It includes very detailed parts and one and a half figures. I also dislike the fact that the gun barrel is molded in two halves, which means that, without a bit of work, it can come out slighlty odd looking.

Awesome German Tank
By rockykeele

This kit turned out very cool. The tank itself is larger than I would have guessed based on the size of the box. The quality of the kit is very good. My only complaint is with the one piece treads. This kit's treads only have one row of pins connecting the two ends, and it was difficult to get the connection satisfactory. Most of the Tamiya kits I have done before have at least two rows of pins - unfortunately, this one did not. The treads aside, the model is awesome. As usual, the kit comes with tools for the tank (shovel, sledge hammer, crow bar, jack, cables, etc.) A commander (full figure) and a driver (torso only) come with the kit, but the detail of the figures seems a bit lacking. Overall, even with the few slight drawbacks, the kit is impressive and well worth the price.

Panther compared the Tiger

The Panther is as big as the Tiger during ww2. The 1/35 models accurate. The Panther is a fun model.
