Old School Panther is still a fun build
The venerable Tamiya Ausf. A Panther has been around for decades. With advanced kits from other makers, it can seem almost toy-like, but done carefully, it is still a remarkable likeness of the era's best medium fighting tank. Take the time to close off the many see-through aperatures of the model (periscope covers, engine air intakes) by cementing flat plastic scrap to the underside of the hull before fixing the deck to the hull. Because the 75mm main gun is so prominent and so long, take the time to fill and eliminate seams; including the muzzle brake. Poke around in the scrapbox for extra tools and gear to bolt on. The jack, positioned between the exhausts, is particularly crude. A newer one is a good update. If you apply a clear flat overspray, the old kit decals are remarkably good. I used a four-color scheme; brown, green, panzer gray and light sand. All of these are camo enamels in spray cans available at the hardware store if you wish to avoid an airbrush. This is a useful tip, as model paint makers are all converting enamels to latex.Read full review...

Directions weak
Directions were not clear with the diagrams. Order of sub components could have been better explained and diaphragmed. A little confusing at times. Suspension bar installation is terrible. Insert bars loose then install the bars as you line up the side to the hull floor plate. Much easier. Read full review...

Good beginners build
The Tamiya company make good models at affordable prices that are accurate to the time. The Panther model is a good build for beginners because there are not to many parts and the instructions are easy to read.Read full review...

Great Armor Kit
Great Kit lots of detail and easy to follow instructions. It has one piece tracks that has pins you you must melt with a heated screwdriver. Easy to follow paint guide overall a great kit would go well with any armor diorama Read full review...

Nice model kit!
I always enjoy a Tamiya model kit. They are high quality molds with very little flash if any. The fit and building instructions are always spot on. Easy build and historically accurate.

Plastic axles? Not the best Tamiya kit but fun.
This is not a great kit. The axles are plastic and the tracks are so tight, they pull the front axles back so they look bent. They need to bring back metal axles. Otherwise, it's a great kit. Fit is nice and kit is easy to build and fairly detailed for a cheaper kit.Read full review...

Good detail. It’s a nice build.
Nice and realistic. Actual rubber style tank tracks. Not the plastic ones you need to glue!
