Hi Guys,

I saw a listing of a 1/35 Panther D on the Revell website, said to come out in May this year. Does anybody have any additional info on this kit, like is it new tooling or is it the same as the Italeri or even the Zvezda kit?

best regards,
Harry

Won't be new - simply a re-pop.

The Revell Germany kit is almost certainly the dismal Italeri mold. This kit is also available from Zvezda (the three companies have longstanding marketing agreements, and swap molds all the time).
ICM's kit is better, and Dragon's is much, much, better.

Thanks for the quick reply guys,

I was aware of the cooperations between the three brands, so I was already a little sceptical since the Italeri Panther is said to be (very) bad. I guess I won't burn my fingers on Revell's when it comes out!

best regards,
Harry
