Nice looking Panther G in 1/72 by Vespid. High quality kit for 1/72. Plastic, brass, p/e and 3D printed pieces.  Individually bagged sprues.  Nice instructions and painting guides for 4 Panthers.  Photo etch, brass barrel and 2, 3D printed muzzle brakes, one with it's cover in place. Lots of extra parts, 3 gun mantlets, a total of 5 storage bins including a hinged one used by IR panthers, 2 pairs of final drive housings for the final drive, one set of steel wheels for a MAN production Panther that used one in the final road wheel position all kinds of goodies.  |

Nice one mate, you're in for a good build as Vespid is among the best out there for 1:72 armour models!

Yes and it's no exaggerations you've read...

Ooooooh, she’s a beauty! Did you buy it online? Yes, off Amazon. It really is a beautiful kit, hope I can do it justice. |

Yes, it's almost like it's a good 1:35 kit that's been scaled down to 1:72, almost.
But try your hand on one of MiniArt's new StuG III kits in 1:72. They're by far the best I've seen so far and just as hard to get together like their 1:35 kits. It's doable for sure but you do need patience. Well, you could say that of the Vespid kits as well. FlyHawk have some excellent kits in 1:72 as well including some different but still cute Renault FT tanks, now that's quite small...

Fly Hawk makes some interesting kits I like the looks of the Renault, also their 1/700 Uboat in drydock looks like just the kit to make you pull your hair out an go screaming into the night never to be seen again, but the one I really like is their SMS Derfflinger Battle Cruiser.

Yes, I like it as well and I've got SMS Derflinger in my stash. Mine is a rebox by Takom. But I've got some other of the Flyhawk full hull ships in my stash as well. HMS Agincourt (Deluxe Edition), HMS Prince of Wales 1941.12
(Limited Edition), Scharnhorst 1943 Deluxe Edition, Deluxe Edition HMS Kelly 1940 and HMS Aurora 1945 is the ones I've got. I also have a couple of their add on kits in 1:700.
But I've not worked up the nerve to build any of them yet...
