Tamiya just doesnt stop releasing new items for the 1/48 MM Series. We now offer modelers
the Panther Type G, widely considered one of the most effective German tanks of WWII. Line
the Ausf.G with the Panzer IV Ausf.J and 1/48 Panzer Grenadier figures for a detailed and
accurate diorama of late-WWII German military.
Developed as a countermeasure to the Soviet T-34, the German Panther tank was produced
from 1943 until the end of the war and served alongside the Panzer III, IV and Tiger tanks. The
Panther tank featured sloped armor, powerful 700hp Maybach engine and a turret placed far
back on the hull mounting a 75mm L/70 cannon. The main gun was even more devastating
than its size of 75mm would suggest, due to the large propellant charge and long barrel with
high muzzle velocity. Many consider the Panther every bit as effective as the Tiger I, but easier
to produce and maintain. The Ausf.G included versions with heater unit installed over the left
engine fan, and with curving lower chin piece removed from mantlet to eliminate shot trap.
