This item is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. It requires both cement and painting to complete or use. 450 parts.
For some reason, Tamiya has never decided to retool their ancient Panther A (TAM35065, from the 1960s), and Dragon has capitalized, released first the early model (see link below), and now this late model. This is the type with the ball mount MG on the front of the vehicle -- the Panther image that most people probably think of when this tank comes to mind. Every bit as good as the first release.
