I found this photo on the E-Company board (from a Japanese website that sells Minichamps)

Wow...
Minichamps is REALLY stretching the paint schemes.... I can think of a dozen or so that would go GREAT with that tank, instead of making one up.. :roll:

I wish they would do something like Dietrich has done:

These are awesome looking tanks but the road wheel configurations appear different between the first model and the others. Was there more than one road wheel arrangement for the Panther?

You're right Mike.. The road wheels are NOT on right on the NEW Panther.. The two repaints have the correct setup.... :D

Hi,
I can't say for certain that this is their new Panther tank - heck, they haven't even announced a fourth issue Panther. We do, however, have an image of their fourth issue Jagdpanther, which is in a nice western front camo scheme. Its available on our web site or can be viewed at the Minichamps Germany web site.
