1/35 Panther G w/Steel Road Wheel

With its potent combination of armor, armament, and mobility, the German Panther medium tank is considered one of the best armored fighting vehicles of WWII. Later in the war, some Ausf. G Panthers were fitted with steel road wheels instead of the usual rubber-rimmed types.

Dragon presents another fine entry in its line of "Smart Kits," kits that are "engineered for modeling enjoyment," featuring "plastic parts with enhanced detail" and "unprecedented value," and are "ready for instant assembly!" (quoted from the boxtop). Using the latest slide mold techonology along with photo-etched metal parts, Dragon's Smart Kits provide maximum detail with minimum hassle. Options abound in this kit, such as a choice of rear engine decks, two types of tow shackles, two types of radiator fans, and two options for the deck-mounted heater unit. Tracks are provided as Magic Track links, which are all cleaned up and ready for assembly. Although this is the steel-wheeled version of the Panther, the kit contains the standard rubber-rimmed wheels as well. Decals by Cartograf to model four different vehicles.
