Brief History of the Panther Ausf.G

Introduced during World War II to counter the T-34, the Panther Ausf.G entered production from 1943 and fought alongside other German armour like the Panzer III, Panzer IV and Tiger. It combined sloped armour with a Maybach engine of about 700hp and the 75mm L/70 gun, noted for its high velocity.

What the Tamiya 26517 Includes

This late-war representation is factory painted with markings from the Kustrin engagement in March 1945, and features late-series items such as a mantlet with lower chin fitting and a winter heater unit. The die-cast chassis gives the model a substantial feel, while the applied weathering adds display realism.
