Looks VERY nice!
But I am waiting for the G's and the F's and the Jagd and the berge and the.....
The A's w interior are interesting, but not as interesting as the later versions.

But we needed a new A. Dragon has pretty much done every G imaginable.
That's why three companies announced A and not G.

Another from the stable of usual posts : Whatever it is "nice, but I'll wait for x variant" even though that variant is nowhere in sight and or already done to death by another company.

Or, I could be interested in doing the G with a full Meng-done interior and you could just be full of it...
take that as you will, just take it somewhere else.

Meng were supposed to have a Chieftain in the works, but suddenly they're focussing on the Panther.

I like the idea of the multi piece hull and turret. That way you can leave the panels off and show off the interior. definitely on my "must have" list.

Meng has no interior planned for this kit.

And my eyes are indeed brown. But you're stuck with me here and now. Which is obviously no joy for either of us.

And please every thing I say is not to taken seriously. So calm yourself and just enjoy the silly interplay of these web conversations.

On the topic of the separate hull and turret panels, it allows better detailing on the sides as well allowing for hull and turret side variations. Or not.

And of course just because an interior isn't planned now, doesn't mean they won't leave the option open for the future or for after market entrepreneurs by molding the panels separately.

The sprues look good. Having built a Meng T-72, I liked how it went together, so I expect the Panther to be nice, but we'll see.

Out of curiosity, why the British WD markings on the Jerry cans?

Those tracks look very tedious ! Having arthritis in my hands it might be a deal breaker, unless they have a aftermarkrt set /
