Panther Ausf.G Steel-Wheel Profile

The Tamiya 35174 kit portrays the German Panther Ausf.G at 1/35 scale, highlighting the uncommon steel-wheel variant seen during wartime trials. The Panther was a direct response to the T-34 and became a significant armoured vehicle from 1943, with the Ausf.G introducing production and protection changes in 1944.

Wartime Role and Model Accuracy

This release replicates the steel-wheeled trial fitment used in an effort to save rubber and other materials. The external mouldings reproduce the hull and running gear accurately, and historical notes reference the V-12 Maybach engine with roughly 700 horsepower, though internal engine detail is not a primary focus of the kit.

Assembly Advice for Modellers

Designed for experienced builders, the 1/35 scale kit rewards careful assembly and paintwork to achieve a museum-style finish. Attention to seam filling and weathering will enhance the Panther's realistic appearance.

Is this kit suitable for display models?

Yes, the level of exterior detail and scale make this kit ideal for display or as part of a larger diorama, provided you invest time in finishing and weathering.

Will I need extra tools to build this?

Basic modelling tools are required, such as sprue cutters, modelling cement, brushes and paints. Fine sanding and weathering supplies are recommended for best results.
