Definitely a Panther, Devil Dawg.  Looks to be a early to mid-production Pz. V A or G....can't say for sure.  Looks like it's in great shape.......Lucky!!

2022 New Year's Resolution:  Enter 1 group build and COMPLETE a build this year!!  Why Photobucket did you rob me of my one Group Build Badge???  Must be part of the strong anti-Monogram cartel!!!

The guy bought it in England in the late 1970's. It was put together after the war at the factory, and taken to England with a number of other ones, for evaluation. When that was finished it sat in a scrap yard for a bunch of years.

Not enough weathering or rust. It needs Fruil tracks, some washes and DOT filters. Propeller

All kidding aside, yes Dawg it's a Panther. As stated before it was the answer to the T-34. Here is a late war clip of a Pershing stalking and killing a Panther.
