The Panther Ausf. G was the third production series of this hugely
successful German tank design. A total of 3,126 Panther G tanks were
manufactured between March 1944 and April 1945. Incorporating
improvements over the earlier Ausf.D and A, the Panther G boasted a
redesigned hull with increased armor protection and simplified
construction. Dragon has previously released a 1/72 scale of a Panther
G, and this accurate miniature kit has proved to be a hit with
small-scale modelers. However, a tank is only as good as its crew, and
so Dragon has come up with a fine set of 1/72 scale tank crewmen to man
its Panther!
Building upon the popularity of earlier releases, this is Dragon’s
third tank-figure combination. In fact, the four crewmen are based on
an original 1/35 scale tank crew, yet have suffered no diminution of
detail in this smaller scale. These crewmen are alert to the threat of
Allied aircraft diving down on their tank, a danger that became more
common as WWII wore on. Wearing typical panzer uniforms, this crew is
perfectly designed for a Panther Ausf.G, though of course the figures
could also be adapted to fit other German armored vehicles as well.
With both a tank and four crew figures included, this set provides an
instant vignette for a dramatic late-war scene.
