German Panther Medium Tank

This is a good starter kit, which will go together relatively easy without excessive parts. If you are looking for a good first kit, or practice kit (don't want to spend a lot on practicing a new technique) this kit will work well for you. The parts will need a little cleaning and details are not quite as sharp as a modern model. The tracks also do not work with plastic cement, so fixing them will require a superglue or other non-cement glue. Figures are included, so you can build it with a driver and commander to make it a little more life-like. I enjoyed this kit as a first build, and so should you.

Very good kit, decent detail for the price, easy to assemble.* * -Tracks can be difficult to put together if you don't really know to assemble them (Good way, at least I found, is to heat up some pliers and crush the connectors together) -Needed to Dremel out some of the roadwheels so they would fit, but wasn't too much of a problem. All in all I'd recommend this kit for people with very basic knowledge.

I have built two of these. The kit has good detail and is easy to assemble. The instructions however have a few areas that they do not depict certain steps. Overall good kit. My advice on this kit would be not to mount the top of the hull to the bottom of the hull until you have absolutely finished your build and paint because you need to access the top of the hull from the inside (driver, commander, open opening hatches, ect.).
