Vintage Gunze Sangyo High-Tech Model Panther Sd.Kfz.171 Ausf.G Early Type, MPN G-704, in 1:35 scale. This is an original 1988 Japanese issue and remains factory sealed in its original shrink wrap.
The box identifies this as the early-production Panther Ausf.G and is marked “The 1st lot, 5/1988.”
This is one of Gunze Sangyo’s premium High-Tech Model multimedia kits. According to the manufacturer’s printed description, the kit combines detailed plastic components with brass lathe-turned gun parts, pressed-metal front fenders, white-metal components, and etched metal detail parts.
The manufacturer describes differences between this early Ausf.G and the later-production G model, including details of the turret, exhaust pipes, engine compartment, and other upper components.
An attractive vintage example of Gunze Sangyo’s sophisticated late-1980s multimedia armor kits.
Factory sealed in the original shrink wrap. There is a tear/opening in the shrink wrap on the upper/front area of the box, clearly shown in the photographs. The kit itself has not been opened and remains sealed by the original shrink wrap.
The box shows some minor age/storage wear. Please examine the photographs closely for the exact condition of the box and shrink wrap.
Because the box remains factory sealed, the interior contents have not been individually inspected.
