Eduard German Panther Ausf. D photo-etched
brass in 1/35 scale for DML kit. (TP059)
by Frank De Sisto
Contains one fret and one page of instructions. Price: $12.95 USD.
The main parts contained within this set are the four rectangular and
two circular screens for the engine deck. There are also parts to provide
mesh for the small port that was formerly used to attach a snorkel tube
on early production Panthers, as well as new filler caps that flank that
opening. New mounting brackets for the driver and radio operator’s
hatch hold-open latches are provided as are the small lift hooks seen
around the circular fan housings on the engine deck. A couple of brackets
for the hull rear plate, a reflector light and new mounts for the tubular
convoy light mount are also provided. Finally, there are two oval-shaped
lift rings for the commander’s cupola hatch.
So, again we have another basic set for the novice or the budget conscious
that, with the additional purchase of a “Zoom” tool clamp
set, ought to give a modeler all he wants for a nicely detailed finished
kit.
Recommended.
