Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an old Tamiya kit of the German tank Panther A. This was one of the first model kits that I built when I got back into modeling after 25 year absence. The accuracy of this kit leaves much to be desired but it does have the general shape of the Panther A. Track shoes are the rubber-band type with detail only on one side. There are holes in the hull of the kit where switches would protrude out. Back in the 1970's Tamiya made little motors to add to their model kits so that they would actually move around. This is one of those 1970's kits. Total kit parts are about fifty (50). That's alot for a kit over 30+ years old. After market parts will build this kit up into a very respectable representation of a Panther A. Because this is such an old kit, be prepared to have some fit difficulties with the upper to lower hull. My main gun was warped so I used an aftermarket barrel. If you are looking for a kit to start a young person on and not worry about accuracy or detail then this will be a good kit. If you are looking for a kit based on the the Panther A then this is the kit for you also. There are not many, if any, kits out there based on the Panther A. Overall a decent kit. About the only really bad thing about this kit is that a lot of hobby shops like to overprice this kit. Average price for this kit is about $22.00. That's to pricey for a 30+ year old kit. I got lucky about 10 years ago when I got back into modeling when I bought it for $15.00. Seems that now-a-days distributors got to jack the price up on old kits.
