The mantlet is upside down if I recall correctly.

........... I took mine apart and simply turned the mantlet around and put it back in correctly.

.......... because the shielded sight should be on the port side. For some odd reason
the Chinese installed all the mantlets in the Panthers upside down this way including the 2nd. issue.

That is correct, the mantlet is on upside down. As MG-42 noted, it is a relatively easy fix, though you have to take out a lot of screws to get to the turret. You also have to shave down a little peg on the mantlet so that it fits correctly. Once fixed, the tank looks great!

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Absolutely....

And besides, according to Milo's review the mantlet is wrong for a late model G in any case, and flipping it won't cure that.

Beside The mantlet being upside down to me the Panther does not look right but I can't work it out

I have a Dragon , minichamps Panthers & they look fine but to me the fov does not look right

Well the first problem I can see with the subject of this thread is its 1/32 scale, it needs to be 1/18th...lol

Just kidding....

Dose, the 1/32 FOV panther sit too high?
