I have an Italieri Panther built some time ago..I tink tat one is not tat good...I now have a Tamiya Type G Steel Wheel Version Panther that's yet to be built..From wat i can see, this one looks much better, but not sure if it's the best...

I haven't build a panther. But like always.. Tamiya always produce good kits. But Dragon too is starting to produce good kits for people with a smaller budget! Heh...

DML makes good panther tanks (all versions)

Do not get the god forsaken Tamiya Panther Ausf A. Their Ausf Gs and steel wheel versions are way better.

I'd still go with the DML one though, cos of the pricing and for the indi-track links.

Yeah the Tamiya Ausf A is a mess, but if you want simple stuff, go get that one. You ll get something like what i have at home

A panther with my camou scheme looks ok. Well with an airbrush, anything will look good
