Based on the firewall, most likely with interiors!

give it time, give it time. I fully expect Takom will do that given the demand, the lack of a modern kit, and their propensity for variants from base kits. I don't know any more than you, so this is no a secret message at all...

These panthers are going to be awesome (i hope).

Reading the comments on Facebook we can expect:
- seperate kits, not an all in one solution
- Zimmerit (different patterns)
- interior

cheers Chris

If the kit is like the Tiger II is should be good. By then I might be back at WWII again.

The Meng kit is on preorder for $26.41US, which cannot be correct... given it has an interior. At that price, buy three!

Was it the Ausf A that had the "giraffe" scheme?

TIA

But that one on Hobbyeasy is without interior , it's the same price for the king tiger without interior... When the interior comes out the kit will be more expensive .. But that will take some time that the interior will come out i think.. Look how long time it took for the meng king tiger

MENG also has 4 different zim sets and the first run basic kits come with a metal barrel.

I have only built one takom kit, the AML, but I was impressed overall. I love the panther. I would guess they will do the g next and then the D??

Takom updated their Panther announcement on FB. Three different A's and what looks like the most complete interior I have seen in 25 years!
