The Panther was admired on all sides as one of the most capable and balanced tanks fielded in WWII, and its Ausf. G (Type G) variant is recreated by this radio controlled model assembly kit. Its iconic form with sloped armor will really look the part as you put it through its paces via the controller: forward and reverse motion are joined by a range of turns and pivots, turret rotation and gun elevation. The model has a compact gearbox stowed in the front, pre-assembled turret rotation and gun elevation unit in the center, and the MC-07 control unit in the rear. Each section is easily linked using connectors, and the assembly type tracks facilitate authentic motion, while the hull is a design from the 1/35 military miniature series and offers superior realism and accuracy.

About the Panther Type G

The advent of the Soviet T34 was a major wake-up call for suddenly overmatched German tanks, and stimulated the development of the Panther, which made its fighting debut in 1943. It was a truly balanced design, with excellent survivability on account of its sloped armor, not to mention the maneuverability afforded by its 700hp Maybach  HL230P30 4-stroke V12 engine and the firepower from its L/70 7.5cm gun. The Type G variant was a successor to the A and D Panthers; production began in March 1944, and by the end of 1944, a further upgraded version had been brought out with a squared-off lower gun shield, upgraded muffler and a heater unit on the engine grille. Production of the Type G Panther continued until April 1945, with 2,953 rolling off the production lines and it was always a threat to enemy forces.

Elevate the gun via vertical movement of the right transmitter stick.

From front to back, the model is loaded with the gearbox, turret rotation/gun elevation unit, and MC-07 control unit, linked via connectors.

Assembly type tracks have snap-together links.

The Panther’s sloped armor is captured in style.

Surface textures such as cast metal sections and weld lines are recreated. The MG34 is beautifully detailed.

The hull-left OVM rack has separate parts for a shovel, wire cutters and other tools.

The right OVM has an axe, jack base, crank rod and more.

Separate parts for engine hatches and heater unit give plenty of detail.

The muffler, jack and stowage cases on the rear are a point of great interest.

The transmitter’s left stick controls tank motion, while the right stick is for turret rotation and gun elevation.

The packaging’s color illustration of the tank with its three-color camouflage will be a great source of reference when painting and weathering the model.
