Default Does anyone know who makes this Panther A? (Pictures attached)

I was exploring one of the local hobby stores and chanced upon this in the shop window. The shop guy had no clue who made it, but he was pretty sure it was a static model. It appears to be 1/16th scale. with the correct front glacis, side sponson angles, exhausts, etc. I had a look under the hull and the suspension arms do not seem to be movable. The main gun is sagging though.

They also have a 1/16th scale Dragon Pz. II in stock.

If anyone is interested, the tanks are at Time Machine Hobby in Hartford Connecticut.

That is a Verlinden 120mm or 1/15 static Resin Panther A. The Dragon Panzer II is 1/6 scale not 1/16.

Nice catch, it was a typo on the Dragon Panzer. Thanks for clearing it up!

I wish I had taken advantage of the opportunity to buy one of those Verlinden kits. The Panther A is a favorite of mine. But I was too heavily into battling at the time and passed on it. Stupid me.
