I love the Panther, too. But I fear that Tamiya might use their recording of the Saumur King Tiger for their Panther. I know that the Panther and the King Tiger and the Tiger used, at one point or another, the same 650hp Maybach engine. But running and in operation, they don't sound the same. The sound effects IMO are probably the most important aspect of Tamiya's tanks. If they get a recording from a Panther along with it's Gun elevation and recoil, then sign me up, boys!!!
