Panther Ausf. G Ardennes

[Plumbum]

I am interested in another armor project. I built the old Tamiya 1/35 Panther

Ausf A, their Tiger 1 and Walker Bulldog. Recently I did a Dragon T34 with

the smart tracks and last year I did the Dragon King Tiger in the orange box

in the Octopus scheme. I have always had a soft spot for the Panther V and

want to build an Ausf G from the Ardennes offensive. Whats the better kit in

1/35 and where do I find color schemes for the Ardennes offensive in the winter

of 1944-45? Thanks.---John

It has been decades since I've built a Panther, and I've yet to build one in 1/35 scale.  From what I can find on the net, I'd suggest Dragon's smart kit no. 6370

For colour scheme, see the linked decal set - be good idea to add to the shopping list  if you want historical markings for the Ardennes:

- edit, the first decal scheme from the kit is a valid participent from Ardennes time frame

... another painting option, or you can buy actual paint masks - J's Work
