Tamiya Panther G Early?

mr_nancy · 02-12-2007

I just got an Early Panther Ausf. G w/Zimmerit (#35170). Although the scheme looks somewhat like the "ambush" one, I don't know what battles it would be employed in. Thanks.

Hello! The German tanks had zimmerit applied since december 1942 and in september 1944 they officially relinquished applying zimmerit in factories. So you already have a time gap where you can search for battles.
The first Panther G was produced in March 1944 and because you have an early one, I doubt you can employ it in a Normandy battle. Most likely the Eastern Front.

Sorry for spelling mistakes.

I'd say the last bigger battles it was deployed in was the Battle of Kursk. So it is on the Eastern front as Marius says.
