Tamiya German Panther Type G Early Version (1:35 Scale)

Developed in response to the Russian T-34, the World War II German Panzerkampfwagen V “Panther” became a landmark design, with mass production starting in spring 1943. This Tamiya German Panther Type G Early Version (1:35 Scale) model kit focuses on the Type G variant that began to appear in spring 1944, introduced with changes intended to refine production and improve battlefield performance.

The Type G incorporated additional side armour slope angles and simplified assembly refinements for mass production. It used a Maybach HL230-P30 V-12, watercooled engine producing 700 horsepower, paired with an improved transmission to address gear malfunctions found on earlier models. An innovative torsion bar suspension system and compound roadwheels supported strong off-road running ability. Intended for adult constructors, this detailed kit suits military modelling collections centred on WWII armoured vehicles.
