Umm sorry to be the only complainer but isnt the G model supposed to have the added on chin armor?

D and A model had the rounded gun manlet but the G had a flat chin piece cast into the manlet. Some D and A models were destroyed when incoming rounds hit the bottom half of the rounded gun manlet and were deflected into hull roof or front of turret base.

The added on chin armor was supposed to prevent that, by eliminating the shot trap.

Doesnt mean I wouldnt jump up and down in joy at having my favorite tank of WW2 to play in.

@Anlushac11

not all G had chin armor ... also i think there was 2 types of the G version (im absolutly notsure about this, but when i wanted to add this plates i saw it dosnt really fit with the model... i have here a book with a different panther G than i have it on my blueprints - the one on my blueprints has no chin protectors, the one in my book has ... and the hull of the one with looks strange, i cant tell you what but something does look different on the one in my book - so i suppose there was 2 G versions, one with and one without protectors)

OK, enough of this BS! Everyone knows that we're just skirting the issue. . .

When are we gonna get our hands on one of these?

Dont get me wrong, I will still be giddy with anticipation for a Panther.

I have also seen comments about the chin armor and it seems the Germans were notorious for rebuilding. It was not at all uncommon to see G turrets on older hulls and A and D turrets on G hulls etc. Same with Pz IV's. One historian said it was confusing sometimes because field rebuilds were common due to necessity. US did same things with Shermans. Whatever it took to get them to the front.
