"Lots of moving parts, easy build"
roycraft3
This 1/35 scale Panther tank is scaled about right, it's large, but it doesn't have as much detail as I would've hoped for on such a large model. For the price though, I suppose it makes sense. POSITIVES: I like the wheels on this one, they show the rivets well, and they roll very smoothly. There are a LOT of moving parts which I consider a plus. The driver top hatch, coaxial gunner top hatch, driver forward hatch, turret escape hatch, ball machine gun, and commander's cupola all can move. The gun carriage latch is not supposed to move, but with some careful cutting of discarded sprue, I got mine to rotate. Also, it comes with a driver that can be placed looking either from the top or forward hatches. NEGATIVES Turret back armor plate has some fit issues and required some putty The jack had very weird instructions. I ended up cutting off the guide rod and glueing it where I saw fit. The instruction's resolution is a bit low - it's difficult to tell the orientation on on some small parts There are no directions on where the tow wires should go - you can basically put them anywhere, but it'd be nice if they said that

"Awesome German Tank"
rockykeele (Tucson, AZ)
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.

 
"Good Starter Kit, Decent build"
engineman02
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.

 
"Excellent Model"
build master
Got this model on Thursday and my grandson and I had it finished by Sunday. This is an excellent model! Very well laid out and detailed. Parts are well molded and fits together like hand and glove. This would be a good starter model for anyone just starting out in model building; challenging, but not overly complicated. The only con I could find is you have to cut the pins off the Idler Wheel (C3)and there is ten on each Idler Wheel, for a total of twenty. For an experienced adult this is no problem, however, I don't think I would let a child try to perform this task; just a little bit to dangerous.

Comments

  • NOTE: Please keep all small parts and sharp edges away from children ages 3 and under.
  • Care should be taken when using various tools and modeling knife.
