Growl of the Panther Tank

[McCoy]

One other notable difference between the Ausf. A n' G is the the hull is havin' a straight line all the way over the tracks n' that the A have a odd downward addition to the hullside alongside the end of the hull above the tracks.

Nice RB, I think that was the one LT was looking for!

All we need now is a photo of the all steel wheel version of the "G".

The Panther Ausf F. Dragon has a kit in 1/35.

Here's the link.

I can't recall the details right now, or locate the book its mentioned in, but was there not also an upgrade of an extra idler wheel or something just behind the drive sprocket?

[McCoy]

I know that the Ausf. G had an small idler wheel just behind the drivesprocket n' that it was replaced with a small skid on late Ausf. G's. If this small idler is missing on Ausf. D n' A I don't know.

It's the same as this, It's just a curved top added on top of the flammendämpfer.

Now we can all sleep at night.

How much are they asking for that kit, LT?

[lufttiger]

Ah, gotcha ya, i do like the look of the curved top better.

That may be, I've not decided how I should do with my ongoin' Ausf. G
