Well got two panter G night fighters from Dragon for only $9.99 first time around. The ones with Infer red lights. Third one cost me $11.99 oh well no complaints. This looks like one hell of a kit,as compared to Tamiyas $30.00 plus a kit for their Panther G. Even has the heavy chin on mantlet.
Just had to gloat.

That's excellent Sgtreef, good for you. I have that same kit from Dragon and have yet to put it together. Soon though, real soon. How (where) did you get those, off of E-bay? That's where I get alot of my kits. Most places I travel to don't have any hobby shops or 1 maybe 2 if they have any. So I rely on e-bay alot. There's alot of really nice buys if your willing to wait it out and pay attention to the auctions. Send some pics when you build those, it might inspire me to get motivated to do mine. Thanks Chris.

I could not get a model of a Panther for under ten dollars with a gun. Where did you perform this magic trick. I appreciate the Constitutional guarentee against self-incrimination and can assure you that we will not share your technique with law enforcement officials.

Well okay got them thru squardon hobby. I had called to complain that my stuff wasn't sent out, so this lady gets all uptight and says do I want to talk to her supervisor I say okay I will talk to him and he says is there a problem well I have been ordering from them for about 14 years. I say no,I ask to order some stuff he says okay I ask for two premier dragon night fighting panthers he says they are on sale for get this $9.99 I say send me two I wish I would have said how many do you have send me 10 well I call back the next day and want more insert[ greed here] The lady says I can have them for last months price of $11.99 so I ordered one more. the kit looks killer. Late version with the chin on bottom guy on missing links did one really good. I think well worth the money compared to Tamiyas $30.00 plus for one or close with shipping so hit Squardon mail order and say do you have any more of these and beg for the $11.99 price from lasts months circular.I think I will order one more tomorrow.

I have built the Night Fighting Panther by DML. Great kit but DO NOT put any sag into the tracks....I had a total of 2, thats right 2, track links left when I was done. Not much room for error or shooting of any acrossed the room. I don't recall any fit problems, but I don't think it comes with any side skirts. The guy at the hobbystore told me it was the "most accurate" Panther G out there. That I couldn't say for sure but it was definitely worth the $18 I spent on it.

Thanks, for the info. I know little about Panthers, but like the looks of the tank. I have the night fighting Panther as well as the Italeri Panther A. I look forward to building them.
