Peter Browne Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Can't seem to find any reviews (apart from the MBK video in German..) of Das Werk Panther A Late (DW 35011). Particularly comparing to DML 6168 Neither kits contain zimmerit. This is to model 'Gerda' sometime after finishing the RFM Panther G Late which I'm working on. Gerda is a vehicle from I./Pz.Rgt. 6 attached to Pz.Rgt.130 as I. Battalion in Panzer Lehr Division shown below located in Normandy (Juaye-Mondaye) June 1944. This looks like Daimler Benz zimmerit for the late A. Correct me if I'm wrong. Atak have the zim for the Das Wek kit but not for Dragon (I could be wrong there too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Browne Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Would the following Atak set suit this Gerda? https://atakmodel.istore.pl/en_US/p/35069-ZIMMERIT-PANTHER-A-Late%2C-DAIMLER-BENZ-Pattern-/22730630 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) I found the Das Work kit to be excellent, for my needs. The gun mantle seems to be a little short, width wise, and the Atak Zim set includes a new mantlet. I did not use the Zim set on mine, built as one of the Wiking Panthers at Kovel.

JackG Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Das Werk Panthers are reboxed Takom kits without the interiors nor zim. Looking at the Scalemates listing of the associated Takom Panther, it lists the Atak Zimmerit set that is applicable, one of which is 35069: https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?fkSECTION[]=All&q=takom+panther+A+late regards, Jack 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 This is the set I used on my late A, with the fine squared pattern. Very nice it is too. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/das-werk-dwa015-zimmerit-set--1227221 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Browne Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Gerda (vehicle 234) looks to be a Mid A judging by the binocular sights on the mantlet. I think the one closest to the barrel is plugged, possibly indicating fitting of the later monocular sight, as fitted to Late As: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Browne Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Ah, some more of the same photos of Gerda which clearly show the monocular (not binocular...) sight on the mantlet. A Late A then. No idea what the spot is over what I thought might be the inside binocular sight aperture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
