Tamiya 1/48 German Panther G 32520

Description

The set includes optional mantlets, a heater unit on the left engine cooling air outlet, and the flame-hiding exhausts characteristic of the Ausf. G late version. The only missing item is the steel-rimmed wheels. The total parts count is much higher than that of other models in this series. Many of the tools are molded separately with fine details. Chassis is made of die-cast metal, and pre-primed. Tracks are link-and-length and feature realistically molded-in sag on the upper runs. An excellent new addition to your 1/48 scale tank museum! Kit can be built as an early or late G model.

About the Panther G Developed as a countermeasure to the Soviet T-34, the German Panther tank was produced from 1943 until the end of the war and served alongside the Panzer III, IV and Tiger tanks.

The Panther tank featured sloped armor, powerful 700hp Maybach engine and a turret placed far back on the hull mounting a 75mm L/70 cannon.

The main gun was even more devastating than its size of 75mm would suggest, due to the large propellant charge and long barrel with high muzzle velocity.

Many consider the Panther every bit as effective as the Tiger I, but easier to produce and maintain.

The Ausf.G included versions with heater unit installed over the left engine fan, and with lower lip piece added to mantlet to eliminate shot trap.
