'The G version was the variant of the Pzkpfw V ''Panther'' battle tank produced in greatest numbers and it superseded the A version from 1944 onwards. The chassis was of a better design and further improvements were continually incorporated in production. The final version of the tank had an altered engine deck and the shape of the cylindrical mount mantlet was different. With its 7,5 cm 42 L/70 cannon and missile deflecting shape the Panther proved to be a dangerous opponent. The V 12 cylinder Maybach HL 230P30 petrol engine with a maximum capacity of 700 HP gave the 44,800 kg heavy Panther G a maximum speed of 55 km/h. It had a crew of five.'

'The G version was the most-produced variant of the Pzkpfw V 'Panther'' and replaced the A version in production from 1944. Scale 1/72. 124 individual parts. 12.2 cm long.
