So here is Dragon's Beobachtungspanzer Panther G. Diecast
upper and lower hull make modification difficult, but what is
in the box is a good 1/72 representation of a Panther G
chassis.
some putty will be required at the rear and front of upper and
lower hull however.
Here is pic of both.
Front join.

Rear Join

Comparison to scale plans, note it is quite good. The plans
are for the prototype which was built in '43 on a D chassis,
the others were in '44-'45 and probably used a G chassis but no
photographic evidence exists (that I can find).
