Dragon 6913 Panther G with Turret Roof Armor 1/35 Scale Plastic Model Kit

Description

As the Luftwaffe was progressively swept from the air as WWII wore on, German tanks became vulnerable to enemy fighters. To help counter this, Germany produced a special set of armored plates that could be mounted atop the turret and over parts of the Panther’s engine deck. The field-mounted steel plates were double-spaced on the turret top to improve protection against aircraft strafing and shrapnel. Dragon’s new Premium Edition item 6913 features such a unique-looking Panther Ausf.G with the additional armor plates. As a premium edition, this new kit is upgraded with Magic Track, 3D printed parts, a metal gun barrel and copper cable. Box is sealed, and is crushed on on one end (see images).
