Panther F

For those who build static too. I'm sure it can be grafted onto an RC chassis.

Does anyone have any genuine information on the release date of the Panther G

Panther F

Genuine? Trumpeter hasn't made THAT announcement yet, I was just showing the 'newest' images hot off the press. Trumpeter is slow about this procedure, after all it took almost 4 years to see the SU-100 kit after they discussed it.

This kit was unveiled back in December of 2015!

Yeah, Trumpeter has a fun way of announcing their stuff. First they add it to the catalog, then they work on it, then they show it and then it turns into vapor for about 2 years.

I think the 1/48 U-boat was a 5 year ordeal. Love their stuff by the way, all the way down to the Hobby Boss 1/48s.

Not to start another tired old wish list, but really, a G? All the variants they could have went for, why pick one Tamiya already did? I do know, RC is not their target with this, but they have to consider that 1/16 is a large scale for static, market is small so even if 10% would be interested in making it move, they'd jump on something new.

What surprises me with Trumpeter is they have made a number of 1/16 static tanks with full interior but no Tiger I? something I have never worked out let’s hope the Panther will show up over winter, I agree Ausf another Panther G, why when they could easily have made a Panther A just to be a little different, I would imagine a Sherman variant is not far from being built.

It's released. I just got a new item notification from Ebay.
