Snapshot of the Panther Type G Late Pattern

The Panther Type G late pattern is a notable development in WWII tank design, balancing mobility, firepower and protection. Built to counter Soviet armour, it mounted the long L70 75mm gun and became prominent on several key battlefields after 1943.

Model interest and historical details

The Type G introduced production and armour tweaks, such as improved glacis angles and a revised mantlet to remove earlier shot-trap tendencies. These revisions give modellers historical cues to highlight when assembling and finishing the kit.

Build impression and presentation

Tamiya's kit recreates the late Panther look with well-sculpted external components, including the modified engine area and intake grilles. Builders can expect parts that support detailed painting and realistic weathering techniques.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35

  • Assembly: Glue required

Yes, the kit reflects the late production changes such as the mantlet shape and revised engine deck, providing a reliable base for a historically faithful model.
Basic modelling tools like side cutters, hobby knife, fine files and brushes will cover most tasks. Sanding sticks and a fine drill are useful for advanced detailing.
Some modellers add photoetched parts or resin upgrades for finer grills and stowage. The kit provides a solid base, but upgrades can lift realism further if desired.
