Airfix 1/35 Scale Panther Ausf G. Model Kit
The Panther is a German medium tank deployed during WW2 on the Eastern and Western Fronts in Europe from mid-1943 to the war’s end in 1945. The Panther was born out of a project started in 1938 to replace the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks. On 3rd April 1944, M.A.N. reported that it had successfully completed trial production runs of the new Ausf.G chassis. Between March 1944 and April 1945, M.A.N. built approximately 1143 Panther Ausf.G tanks. M.N.H. constructed 806 Panther Ausf.G tanks between July 1944 and March 1945. There were some minor differences between factory built tanks. M.N.H. fitted a cast steel Gleitschuh skid shoes instead of a rubber tire return roller behind the front track drive sprocket. The other two factories continued to fit rubber rimmed return rollers. Scale 1:35 Skill 3 Dimensions (mm) L247 x W98 Age Suitability 14+ Paint and glue required to complete. Not included.
