2 cents and why:

Depends completely on your build criteria and what tank you like best. In almost all situations the Panther G is bad and to make it best will take some work and cash! LOL.

The 250 or so Jagdpanthers built during WWII had a pretty record and make for an interesting looking model.

The Panther never really lived up to military expectations and that is one reason why the Pz4 stayed in production.

The Tamiya Panther G is a good but flawed kit, kinda repeating history at 1/16 scale.

Though now easily corrected by throwing some dollars and after market parts to gain some performance out of it for running at tank club battle events.

But that is a very small part of the package found in building and running rc armor models.

For running around the yard, park or on the carpet, all the Tamiya kits are of sufficient performance and most are just fine built stock.

And based on real experience with the Jagdpanther &Panther G builds: in side by side running the Jagd is a superb running model; slightly better than the Panther, with both using the same upgrade parts.

And without those upgrade parts, both models were not as good (read totally inferior) as my Tamiya Sherman, Pz4J or Tiger IE or the KV-1.

Probably, the Tiger IE is still the best all around Tamiya Battle Unit Tank, but 7wt stated he is not interested in building a tank club basher. LOL.

And for tank club battles any well built heavy tank will work. 9 hits is what is most important. And there is a lot more fun to be found than modeling armor for just that criteria. LOL.
