Tamiya just doesn�t
stop releasing new items for the 1/48 MM Series. We now offer modelers the
Panther Type G, widely considered one of the most effective German tanks of
WWII. Line the Ausf.G with the Panzer IV Ausf.J and 1/48 Panzer Grenadier
figures for a detailed and accurate diorama of late-WWII German military.
About the German Panther Ausf.G
Developed as a
countermeasure to the Soviet T-34, the German Panther tank was produced from
1943 until the end of the war and served alongside the Panzer III, IV and Tiger
tanks. The Panther tank featured sloped armor, powerful 700hp Maybach engine and
a turret placed far back on the hull mounting a 75mm L/70 cannon. The main gun
was even more devastating than its size of 75mm would suggest, due to the large
propellant charge and long barrel with high muzzle velocity. Many consider the
Panther every bit as effective as the Tiger I, but easier to produce and
maintain. The Ausf.G included versions with heater unit installed over the left
engine fan, and with curving lower �chin� piece removed from mantlet to
eliminate shot trap.
