The German Panther was one of the best tanks to see service in WWII, designed
from the outset to regain combat superiority over Soviet tanks on the Eastern
Front. It represented an ideal balance of firepower, mobility and protection.
The final production version was the Ausf.G, which featured improvements such
as a simplified hull to speed up production. Dragon Armor has just released
a further brand new Panther Ausf.G that is differentiated by featuring steel
road wheels. The Gummigefederten Stahllaufrollen (steel road wheels with internal
rubber cushions) was fitted to a series of 24 Panther G tanks instead of regular
rubber-rimmed road wheels.
The 1/72 scale model represents a tank from an unidentified unit fighting in
Germany as the Third Reich was crumbling towards defeat. The tank is finished
in a most interesting late-war camouflage scheme that really stands out. Dragon’s
craftsmen have custom-painted the tank with a web of over-sprayed sand color
that makes the vehicle look quite different to any other Panther. In keeping
with this period, there are no tactical markings on the vehicle. This Panther
Ausf.G with steel road wheels has been accurately reproduced, and it represents
something different thanks to its unique camouflage finish.
