all are good it is just what you like...

if you are a ground pounder then you take armor over air power...

if it is up to the tiger or the panther i would pick the tiger by a small margin because the tiger has interior detail and the panther do not....

serious 1/18 collectors would want all 3 and multiples. Got to expand that "wow" factor after all and these 3 are very nicley presented models and so far perhaps could be viewed as 21ST core items, being close to their first offerings in this scale.

I agree all 3 are a must. Start with the Stuka. Then get the Tiger and save the Panther for last.

Go with all three

While all are older models - the Panther dating from 2000, the Tiger and Stuka from 2002 - they still hold up very well. The Tiger is one of the best tanks avaliable in 1:18, period. It is extremely detailed with a full interior and opening engine. The Panther has no interior, but the hatches open and the tank just looks cool. The Stuka is an excellent aircraft and though it has a few slight inaccuracies and the details do not quite match up to the most recent 21c aircraft, you will not be disappointed. It is large and captures the look of the famous plane.

Currently, you can still find the S2 "Eastern Front cammo" Tiger at some small retailers. That is my personal favorite. Also out new are the latest Panther repaint and the "Rudel" Stuka repaint, both of which look great.

Again, go for all three!

You will be happy with any and all of these.

I would recommend you use the General Blasto method of XD procurement...

Pesonally I'd go for panther first , but all three are excellent. They are even better after a little weathering .

Any or all of them would be a good purchase for your collection.
