Dragon Models Plastic Model Kit
Panther Ausf.G with Additional Turret Roof Armour (1/35)
This 1/35 scale kit from Dragon Models represents a Panther Ausf.G fitted with additional turret roof armour, a field modification introduced during the later stages of the Second World War. These extra armour plates were installed to provide increased protection against air attacks and shrapnel, reflecting the growing threat from Allied aircraft. As part of the 1/35 vehicle range, it offers a detailed and historically interesting subject for advanced modelling.
The model captures the distinctive appearance of the Panther G with its added armour configuration, including the spaced plates mounted on the turret roof. The kit is part of Dragon’s Premium Edition line, incorporating a range of enhanced features such as a metal gun barrel, 3D-printed components, and copper cable for added realism. These elements combine with finely moulded plastic parts to create a highly detailed representation of this late-war variant.
Magic Tracks are included to simplify track assembly while maintaining a realistic appearance, and the overall construction includes detailed hull and turret components. The kit provides a strong base for painting and weathering, allowing modellers to replicate the worn and battle-hardened look typical of late-war German armour.

The Panther Ausf.G was one of the final and most refined versions of the Panther tank, widely used by German forces during the latter part of WWII. As Allied air superiority increased, tanks became more vulnerable to strafing and aerial attack, leading to field modifications such as additional roof armour. These adaptations highlight the changing nature of battlefield threats and the efforts made to improve vehicle survivability. This model reflects that evolution, offering a detailed representation of a late-war Panther configured to meet the challenges of modern combat conditions.
