Rye Field Model 5112 PANTHER AUSF.G 1/35

The plastic model kit Rye Field Model 5112 PANTHER AUSF.G in 1/35 scale is aimed at advanced modelers and enthusiasts of 20th-century military history. This kit represents the legendary German medium tank Panther Ausf.G (Sd.Kfz.171) from the Second World War. The design of this vehicle was the peak achievement of German armored engineering, combining excellent mobility, robust armor, and powerful armament in the form of the 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 gun, which effectively competed with Allied tanks.

The Panther G entered service for the first time in 1944 and was used by the Wehrmacht on all European fronts until the end of World War II in 1945. The most famous combat episodes involving Panther G tanks are linked to battles on the Eastern Front, in Normandy, and during the German counteroffensive in the Ardennes. Distinguishing features of this version included improved side protection (additional armor skirts), a more durable gearbox, and upgraded positions for the commander and gunner.
