I was looking at the newly released Befehls Panther Ausf. G, kit number 6847. Dragonusaonline has only had it in stock for a couple of weeks.
But the usual pictures of the kit show the engine deck without PE grilles. The product information makes no mention of any PE. Is it possible that they are selling this kit without the engine grilles?
In fact, it looks like it doesn't include any PE at all. And it costs the same price as their other 1/35 panthers!!!
I know that they have been selling some of the prototype vehicles without the PE grilles, for example the Panther D V2. But those were weird and unique vehicles, with some references showing that they didn't have the grilles.
This is a mainstream vehicle, not as common as normal Panthers, but not nearly as rare as the prototype vehicles.
Can anyone confirm if the kit does not come with PE?

The new Panther ausf D V2 does have PE grills included. Actually the only PE in this set.

Well, well, this kit its some kind of joke?
I like so much Dragon's ones but, the R01 despict in the kit have schurtzen,with the rare disk camo, and the kit don't come with them!
Why?

Disappointing as well, My thoughts would be that you get the normal G kit as make your own out of Aftermarket bits.
All dragon kits are now going the same route less bling with a big sting price wise disappointing but I love there kits.
Cheers Ben.

The "bubbles" you see are fine. It's a reinforced mantle, which actually was produced.
Hope this helps you out.

That website does a really great job with showing the contents - much better than Dragon does. I will use it more often. Thanks.
