  Trumpeter 1:16 German Panther G – A Serious Build for Dedicated WWII Modellers The Panther G is often described as one of the most balanced tank designs of the Second World War—not because it was simple, but because it brought together firepower, armour, and mobility in a way that influenced tank design decades after the war.

VII represents the most developed wartime version of one of Britain’s most distinctive armoured fighting vehicles.
