Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
I've been waiting for this little beauty to show up. We don't see many very late war paint schemes.

Re: Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
About f*cking time they released a panther. Steel wheels are interesting as well. I think dragon released a panther f that looked similiar to that panther. I also see on dragon's website that they plan on releasing 2 normandy tigers. One of the tigers, number 205, is the one that wittman arrived in normandy in.

Re: Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
Surprisingly, Dragon has only released the one Panther F as you mentioned. I would love to see a new F version with this late war scheme.

Re: Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
woulld have liked a sw panther from KG Peiper Dec.44..but this one is a must for me.
the 3rd SS 101st tiger(non Cyber Hobby release) is also a nice looker.

Re: Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
From a friend at Missing Lynx.That camo scheme is fashioned after that of the MNH factory. The problem is that they never built steel wheel Panthers, all of those came out of the MAN factory and had a totally different camo scheme. Another problem is the exhausts as the full steel wheelers were built prior to the introduction of the large Flammenvernichter exhausts. Finally, as all of the steel wheel Panthers were built in September 1944, it is very doubtful that any were operational by the battle of Berlin.

Re: Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
only about 2 dozen steel wheelers were built..1/Pz Rgt.24 and 1.SS Panzer Rgt have proof of them.Heer wrote:About f*cking time they released a panther. Steel wheels are interesting as well.

pre-orders up for Pz V..hopefully the repaint will be here for Xmas, and not delayed like some of the new tools. The 2nd Tiger of SS.s.Pz Abt 101(#133) coming up should give ius a timeframe for a repaint to show.

Re: Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
Pretty excited for the panther and tigers. Although we might not see them for a long time, considering that dragon still has a lot of tanks to produce.

Re: Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
Great camo on Panther, but I would prefer just regular Panther G late, since Muncheberg/Kurmark have probably never used all steel wheelers.

Dragon also released an earlier Panther G with steel wheels, but without the side skirts - #60322Heer wrote:About f*cking time they released a panther. Steel wheels are interesting as well.

Re: Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
I like the first one with the striped scheme, and while it possibly may not have been carried by
a steel wheeler, at least other Panthers were painted in a similar way.
Not sure about this latest one. Perhaps looks a bit too 'busy' for the size of the model. IMO,

Re: Dragon Armor 1:72 Late War Panther
the striped dragon release inspired me to get the JSI panther, which i'm quite chuffed about. (chuffed=happy).
