Release date 2018. Never knew this till today...Hobbyboss/Trumpeter(not sure if true or not) ...companies picking allies now. Hobbyboss has some good 1/35 Tristar acquisitions (molds) remember? It's like the hobby industry has just let out a big load on the market.Is it just a coincidence that they are all Panther's? What are your thoughts? Do you think they are spying on each other? Model cold war? Arms buildup in plastic? So many great kits coming out...pulling your hair out to decide where to start...







Academy below:



Question- Are the interiors their own molds? Or do they come from a third party?
I like the age restriction on the TAKOM kit lol..14 years old...I bet, it looks tough..ie-many steps.
Eeee gads..a King Tiger.

A Bergpanther finally

You forgot Trumpeter's Tiger I with zimm and Hobby Boss Tiger II with zimm. And Trumpeter's Maus with interior. It's a late war Panzerfest!

Don’t forget HobbyBoss released a BergePanther with Flak gun back in 2012. I have one and just looking at it you could tell that it would be followed up at sometime with other variants, including interior as there are mounting points inside the hull which are not needed for the boxed kit.

Interesting that the hobbyboss Panther A has the over fenders I thought that was a feature only on the D's specifically at Kursk, but will gladly be proven wrong by the experts.
