Historical Information:

The Panther Ausf. G is one of the most recognizable armored vehicles of the Third Reich—used by the Wehrmacht from 1944, mainly on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. The late production versions, manufactured until the end of the war, featured improved armor, redesigned hatches, and advanced optical systems such as the FG 1250 night vision sight mounted on the commander’s hatch—one of the first systems of its kind in the world. Additionally, frontline units often received supplementary anti-aircraft hull armor—hence the uniqueness of this kit. The Panther G took part, among others, in the battles for Budapest and the Ardennes Offensive.
