I will probably get this one. So many choices, and so little time.

I'm going to wait until the full-interior variant comes out. That would save me from having to buy an early A and back-dating it to a D variant as I had planned. Almost way too many options. Enjoying it none the same. Sort of.

Hum...... Hope meng is working on cold war chechnya war T-72B 1989 and other T-72A T-72 ural series, Panther D is not tempting to me simply bcz there is DML's awesome kit out there.

Would be nice to see a head-to-head comparison, but one thing is sure: Meng Panthers are significantly cheaper (just over 20 Euros).

Im currently working on their late A model, also using their zimm set, lovin both so far. Ive built every Dragon Panther kit made, and this one is just as good in my opinion. The zimmerit decals are really easy to use as well, and perfect fit so far

It looks like Meng's kit will depict the later radiator fan covers, like all the other D kits, rather than offering the pre-production covers which were installed on many, if not all, of the vehicles at Kursk.
