These are all based on their fabulous 1/35 version big brothers and are assuredly wonderful little kits at roughly half the price of the larger version. The instructions are probably just as difficult and overly-complex.

The Panther sadly doesn't really add anything to the Late A already offered. Mainly in that they didn't add any metal mesh for the engine deck, no spare track, and no Zimmerit, despite all of those being standard for this type of Panther. Still not convinced that there is any such thing as an early A with a D cupola, but at least it comes with the proper A version with the periscopes, though the lenses are just spaces, I think.

The Nashorn gets a metal sheet, which I think is the first time in a while that PE had been in a Dragon 1/72 scale kit, so that's good.

Not sure what the changes are in the 232 over the kit with the same box art that was numbered 7429 from 2012.
