Tamiya 1/48 Scale Panther G Kustrin Showcase

The Tamiya 26517 - 1/48 Scale Panther G Kustrin is a finished, display-oriented model capturing the Panther's profile and mechanical character. Articulated tracks and the recognisable hull form give this piece strong shelf appeal for hobbyists who collect finished armour models.

Context on the Panther Ausf.G

Designed during World War II to meet the threat posed by the T-34, the Panther Ausf.G was produced from 1943 and served alongside the Panzer III, Panzer IV and Tiger. It combined sloped armour with a powerful Maybach engine near 700hp and a 75mm L/70 gun valued for high muzzle velocity.

Notable Details on the Tamiya 26517

The model is supplied pre-painted depicting a Kustrin vehicle from March 1945 and includes late-production details such as a mantlet with a lower chin section and a winter heater. A die-cast chassis contributes to authentic weight and the weathered paintwork improves its display realism.
