Airfix Vintage Classics Set - A01302V Panther - Plastic Model Tank Kits for Adults & Children 8+, Set Includes 97 Pieces - 1:76 Scale Model Tank Set

This is a good kit. It is also relatively easy to construct.

Not built yet looks small but hey will look good when done

(As is common with most kits no paints or glue are supplied) Despite this Vintage Classic kit dating from 1967 the plastic parts carry very little flash. The model is a little tricky to assemble in places, particularly the rubber band tracks, which didn’t seem to reach all the way around my tank and left a gap. I filled it with plastic card (so I put the join on the bottom). I glued the tracks on with 5 minute epoxy from Gorilla. The rear steering wheels also gave me trouble and I had to just glue them in position despite the instructions saying they can be adjustable. Lots of YT videos on how to build and paint this model, I went with the rear box art paint scheme, which apparently was to try and hide the tanks from enemy planes and spotter balloons before the battle, they ditched the idea pretty quickly as it just got covered in mud. Overall it’s a cheap kit (I paid £7 for mine) and despite it’s issues I had fun making and painting it. It seems relatively accurate to the one I've seen in the tank museum, although more skilled builders can modify it more. I wouldn’t buy it as a first kit though best to stick with a more modern kit and try this when the builder has more experience.

Good kit

You need patience with the tiny parts. The plastic sprues are not near as good as tamiya but a doable model. The turret will need a better attachment solution as this one just pops into a hole in the turret ring without any fixing. The tracks assembly and painting were the worst. They eventually stick together but no point painting them before putting them on the wheels. Paint and primer just peels off. Had the same problem with a trumpeter kv-1 kit. Again, tamiya knows how to produce rubber tracks much better. All in all, you can build a tiny, cute panzer iv but you will need patience. The details on the hull are giod for some basic weathering.

Great quality, easy set.

Bought at a great price for someone special! Lovely models! 💚

The product is ok but the Amazon drivers just throw deliveries to the door and walk away if this was fragile it would be broken this is now a regular occurrence from Amazon drivers

I love Russian tanks

Do companies understand that this is the age of the 3D printer, and that people are not completely at their mercy? I've bought models four times this volume at the same price. It's made of plastic, you know - not gold! You can afford to make it a little bigger. There's no need to be SUCH cheapskates. And the way it fits together! No thought given to design at all. Dozens of tiny parts, and the edges of the floor, walls and ceiling of the main tank are thin edges THAT DO NOT FIT INTO EACH OTHER IN ANY WAY and have to be glued together. A miserable job. A good model for people who enjoy useless pain and have too much time on their hands.

今のプラモデルの精密さや組みやすさと比べたらまるでおもちゃですが、この時期のプラモデルは何とも言えない味わいがあります。値段も安いし手軽に組めるのがいいですね。

The model was exactly what it said it was, and it is in excellent condition!

It was my childhood dream to build a plastic model. This product delivers the complete package of fun experience and good quality product with proper instructions.
