The Tamiya 35174 model kit recreates the German Panther Ausf.G in 1/35 scale with its rare steel wheels, offering a faithful small-scale study of this World War II tank. The Panther was developed in reaction to the Soviet T-34 and saw major action from 1943, while the Ausf.G changes introduced in 1944 focused on stronger protection and simpler production.
This kit represents the trialled steel-wheeled setup used to conserve resources without losing mobility. The parts capture external details and the machine's profile, and references note the Panther's V-12 Maybach engine delivering about 700 horsepower, though internal mechanics are not modelled in full detail.
At 1/35 scale this kit suits builders who prioritise historical accuracy and precise finishing. Assembly involves careful painting and fitting to bring out the Panther's characteristic lines and surface detail for cabinet display.
