knubbels -resin parts are genereally very good but require clean up of the casting blocks at the front and fitting
==>interior is simplified and lacks ammo racks and the turret seat etc.
==>engine hatches can be posed open but engine needs work
==>superstructure and rear hatch can both be posed open but contain little detail
-white metal parts are of good quality by 1990s standards and can be easily cleaned and bent into correct shape.
==>tracks are simplified but OK with "a little mud"
(see box content for details)
All in all a good to model for 1990s but today the Roden or MaCo / Revell kits contain better details and require less additional work
BUT this model can be easily upgraded with the NH Details PE sets for the MaCo (72-028) and Roden (72-029) sets

knubbels Thanks for your comments.
@grimothy: actually this turned out quite "comical". as mentioned above my idea was to use the Revell road wheels for the Panther F.
To have good details front and back I modified them by thinning and glueing the "nice" fronts from the Panther D set to the back of those from the Panther G kit.
When I tried to fit them to the swing arms they fit nicely but only individually !
As soon as I tried to align them they pushed each other. After confirming the distance of the holes made for the swing arms were OK I remade the swing arms, tighter.
Same result. So I bought the swing arm set from CMK (72030). Same issue!
In the end I had to admit that the "redesigned" Revell road wheels were the issue. They kept bumping into each other in the middle.
So after a lot of grinding the connector between the front and rear discs of the outer road wheels they fit !

knubbels ...also I replaced the gun barrel of the KwK 44 L/71 by the more accurate ABER 72L-38.
All the while I added the belt drive for the IR gun laying and its armour guard to the turret along with the loops to attach camouflage.
The OKB tracks are really nice but I should have warmed the up in water before I put them in shape. That would have avoided breaking them. Well, my first time with these tracks but I learn 😉
Last but not least I replaced the right-hand stowage box by a scratch-built armoured one for the IR-set.
