There is a recent thread with pics of a build of this kit (or at least the Gunze original of the Dragon kit anyway) http://www.finescale.com/FSM/CS/forums/662542/ShowPost.aspx

This is the box top pic from the Dragon Pz.Beob.Wg. V Ausf. G kit #9041

Ditto to that.  Own the kit in my stash.  It's for artillery observation, which is why u see hummels in the background.

From the Achtung Panzer! site

"Panzerbeobachtungswagen Panther

Artillery observation vehicle with heavily modified turret mounting wooden dummy gun and ball-mounted 7.92mm MG34. 41 were converted from Panthers returned for repairs in late 1944/45. Mounted with additional observation devices and other equipment, including range-finders."

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

i thing its a panther, too. but the main gun is a little strange. and if you see it with more attention, you can see the turret MG, like da front mg emplacement.

I'd side with Panther...I'm just thinking the drawing has some odd proportions and perspectives.

Nevermind not a Panther 2.

 It's a panther, the turret just looks small at that angle. And the main gun. No?

 Also, try posting in the Armor forum. I don't think it would be off topic.
