Any information would be helpful. I am not familiar with the kit. Are there any parts available for this aftermarket?

TIA,

Scott

im sorry to say the kit is very innaccurate, the most obvious faults are the gun barrel and roadwheels. the barrel is way under scale and this is very apparent on the finished kit and the kit has steel rimmed wheels which would never have been fitted to an A model panther which the kit depicts. steel wheels were an experimental addition to a few G model panthers and those were rare, only around twenty were ever produced. i dont know of any aftermarket parts for the kit but i would expect that some are available. hope ive been of help!
