MENG is building a Panther A 1/35 Also offering zimmerit for it.
PS- I bought MENG's King Tiger...it comes in a small box...compared to Dragons box..it's tiny. The detail is great..so I imagine the Panther is going to be just as nice.

TAKOM Panther


Check out this link for more news on the TAKOM Panther plus some neat WW2 pics of the Panther.

Looks good, but the turret interior pic is of the Takom offering

They ARE 3 dimensional. The decal is similar to def models zimmerit.....it is a resin type material which goes on like a decal.....stick in water for a few seconds and apply. The def model ones are fantastic......I cannot tell you how good they look and so easy to apply. I have used 3 sets.....2 on a tiger and one on a sturmtiger. I can send you photos if ypu like if you contact me at

I have not built a Panther in quite a while. This one has caught my attention. I think I want to build it.

Nope. It's a Panther. That's why the title of the thread said "Panther", not "Chieftain".😥

And turret, haven’t seen that before. Does look very well done for a kit. It really does set the benchmark.

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.

Wow, and I'm broke! I still feel a need to get Panthered again.
I found a nifty feature on the forums called HIDE USER.
I was going to try it on myself and go stealth, but it only works on other users.

Kinda unrelated but have you guys seen the Meng pantherstellung? It comes with two resin figures. Wonder how they approach pricing?

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.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

It seems at this point if anyone would do the Bergepanther it would be Takom.
