"Pretty good German tank model!"
avrilheffernan
This Panther seemed to be a pretty good model. As the first one I had ever done it seemed straight forward although there were a few problems. 1. The tracks were a massive pain to get together! 2. The gun barrel was a little bit uneven and didn't fit right. 3.The cables you are meant to put on the side just snapped for me, after boiling them I expected them to bend as the directions say, they did not and just snapped. The final issue was the directions were a little unclear. The Idler wheel has pins that are meant to be cut off but pictures did not show it cut off as well as the hatches that were meant to be open but weren't... overall it was a pretty good beginner model and worth the price!

"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

 
"Great Model"
gohawksblake
This is a great model kit. I would recommend 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 slightly odd looking.

 
"Good for beginners"
spencernarog
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.
