Dragon is preparing a 1/72 German Panther Ausf. A late model. It comes with several new parts and will be available in November.

I hope Dragon takes the time to include Zimmerit, otherwise it will just be another dropped ball.

Actually Zimmerit or no this would fill a gap in 1/72 armor. There is no great out of the box Panther A. The Dragon Panther G was really nice and head and shoulders over the Revell offering

I think at one point the Ausf G was released with etched metal grilles for the engine deck, but that was dropped, and to my knowledge has since been absent on all their small scale Panthers, as I am sure it will be absent from this kit. Which is disappointing.

Dragon did release an early Panther A with dustbin cupola, and hull MG slot. Although the box art depicted Panther A with Zimmerit, the kit did not. I hope this is not the case this time.
