The Tamiya 35174 kit presents the Panther Ausf.G in 1/35 scale and reproduces the unusual steel-wheel configuration tested during the war. Developed in response to the T-34, the Panther influenced armoured tactics from 1943, and the Ausf.G changes in 1944 improved armour and streamlined production.
This edition captures the steel-wheeled trial version that was evaluated to stretch resources. Externally the model conveys the vehicle's form and road gear, and period sources cite the V-12 Maybach engine with approximately 700 horsepower, though that powertrain is represented only by external contours in the kit.
At this scale the kit is geared to experienced builders who want authentic finishes. Careful assembly, painting and optional weathering will highlight the Panther's profile and give the completed model a realistic presence.
