I built this kit earlier this year and so far I'd have to say it's the nicest Panther kit I've ever built. I do have a couple of Dragon releases in the closet and they look real nice in the box as well, so I'll have to hold back on a final opinion until I build one of them. Having said that, you can't go wrong with the Tamiya Panther G. It's a great model OOB and really shines with some AM goodies on it.
