1/16 Trumpeter models Panther: A look inside review of this new kit 

Have built several Tamiya 1/16 scale tanks. Lots of paint! But I really appreciate how easy it is to see the parts. Was getting tired of microscopic parts on 1/35 scale.

What a beast! Display this panther and the 1/16 king tiger together and you’ll have one incredible show piece!!

Look forward to the build video(s)!

I cant see Andy, hear him talking, just cant see him, where are ya Andy!! LOL Over 2300 parts, wow, what kit!!

1/16 tanks are the perfect size imo

2,300 parts! Might as well build a real one. :- ]

I consider these kits to be the holy grail of all model kits!Im building a 1/16 king tiger and I’m amazed !

there are 1/16 Panther aftermarket ready made metal tracks intened for rc but will fit this if you don't fancy building the plastic ones :)

Glad that two gun shields are provided. Nice variety. This Panther Ausf G looks terrific! Thanks for your video, Andy. I really appreciate this.

Dear Santa... What an awesome kit, ready for superdetailing and a build period of a couple months?! Only downside with these "full interior" kits is the conundrum of how on earth you display the interior the best way at the cost of not having a complete model, or if you slap it together when done and just remember everything inside... I really, really want one!!!

Can't wait to see this build...

I wonder how many of these 1/16 kits with interior actually get built. It is a huge commitment and needing to order your paint and glue by the gallon would make me reconsider my purchase. 😁

I received mine yesterday. The box is huge and heavy. I now wait for Andy to start the build to build mine.

Just when you swore off full interior kits, the mother of all full interior kits! Good luck on your sanity Andy!

Cant wait to see this built.

Just when I thought might get laid this year ...

Mein Gott Andy shrunk in the wash

This one's right up your alley!

I fell in love with the das werk stug….. erm 😍😂

Can't even imagine - one heck of a kit! Thanks for the review, the build should be epic 👍

Hi Andy. Great review, and an incredible kit. If you want an awsome way to display it, and double the work it will take, look at this kit. Its a cut-away of a fully detailed interior of a 1/35th scale panther. It is made by Rye Field Models, and the stock # is RMF-5019. Both the hull and the turret are cut open, and would be a great point of reference for doing this on a 1/16 scale Panther. My biggest question in doing it is how do you cut the hull and turret without destorying the pieces ???

15:35 that's a part where the empty shells fell into:)

Love those suitcase boxes for a model and boxes within boxes... it signifies huge-ness...

No way could you have that kit sitting on the shelf and wonder what's inside. A lot of fun for the person with the skill to do it up right. 👍😀

Thanks Andy, nice kit, but no armor texture on the exterior, looks like Trumpeter just upscaled a 1/35 kit. They could have also offered brass ammunition rounds either in the kit or as an accessory, and the side sheilds look a little flimsy. I like that the kit has a metal barrel and rubber for the wheels, which is a nice touch. Also the welding looks a little weak, will have to rescribe with Tamiya epoxy putty, to bring out the realism in this scale. I think I will wait and see if Trumpeter produces A Jadgpanther version in this scale. Anyway, good job, thanks for opening the box, and keep up the good work.

I'm building the panther now it's going to take some time the road wheels need to be hand sanded to fit some hiccups you need to each for.

i think its right time you show us a video about this beast

The tank kit is insanely huge!!

Add that to the stash of kits you'll start but never finish.

Thank goodness you’re going to build it! It’ll give me courage to start my 3 1/16 Trumpeter kits with full interior (T-34/76; T-34/85; Tiger II). Lord beer me strength.

Грандиозный набор!!! Мечта любого моделиста!❤

so finally the waiting is over. Hope to lay my hands on this kit this month (early Christmas). Thanks Andy!!

After seeing your review of this kit, I liked it so much, I ordered one. It’s going to be a fun one. Thank you for having this channel it’s help me a lot with models.

After seeing your video and the amazing interior detail just ordered one.

That's on the bucket list.

Finishing up the hobby boss 1/16 Tiger tank. 1/16 is from now on probably the only size i will do. Much more of a pleasure to work with. (Im lazy so its probably just me).

AT LAST! That’s what I want for my BD!!! Thick plastic for hull and turret parts maybe for armor thickness in scale? 80mm of frontal armor is 5mm in 1/16 scale. Very exited about it. I’ve build full interior tiger and t-34-85 in 1/16 and MUST get that panther!

The 1/16 Panther G looks like a great chellenge, Thanks for the reveiw, Andy.

Huge model, I can't wait to see you building it.

Yet another one I need to save up for. Also noticed something. There appears to be a clear part or two that hints at an Infrared scope option. The large round and small round part on the clear sprue next to each other look like the parts dragon used on their old 1/35 night fighting panther.

I neeeeeeeed this in my life!

Great review Andy👍 Can't wait for the build video.

This is definitely a build for the summer

That's 1 BIG DOG Andy n I Guessed the Price Too !! Thanks for the Great Review Sir, God Bless All

Finally bought one of these the late version.

Great video!

Hello Andy, the "stool" you were wondering while have a look at the turret top: It's a bin to keep the empty shells after firing a round to minimize smoke und dust insinde the turret. Also to avoid disarray from rolling shells on the floor. You do a great job! Thank you! :)

Im all ready building my 1/16 scale panzer iv kit and i cant wait to get a ppanther to build

Thinking off getting one of these giant trumpeter kits as I love armour, will have to make up my mind which one i will get.😊

I have the Panzer IV, T34/85, M16, Jagdtiger all ready to build so I need to add this one to my collection.

Looking forward the building vid...4 or 5!

own a rc 1/16 tamiya panther, but this looks great for static..

Hi Andy. A most impressive kit I must say. Over here in Australia, it'll be way over your countries retail price.

huh, strange, I swear, the G variant of the panther had a lower flat turret cheek that solved the other panther variants problem of shot trapping. You can search up the G model, and the turret cheek would show having a slightly angled flat part that prevented shot trapping.

Thanks Andy, nice review. Got mine today and looking forward to building it. 👍

I'm waiting for the 1:1 scale kit. (in metal)

Looks like an amazing kit! Hope you build it soon. I am in Mesa and may stop by your shop sometime :)

I’m about to start the HobbyBoss 1/16 Tiger I. I feel like this kit would take a year to finish!

I wanna get this kit so bad I'm going to be scratch building a full interior for it and I'm gonna take the top engine deck plating and turret top plating recast them in clear resin!

Nice kit my first 1 16 was the king tiger with full interior i was building it in 11 months and im still not finished the panther is my next or the jagdtiger

So many tiger and panther kits being released this year.

2300+ parts inside... !!! I´m speechless.

good luck and have fun

We want to see you build it brother!

Andy, That bath tub bottom looked warped !!, Is that why you didn't show it in the still photo's?

did Andy ever do a video showing how to build this thing?

I need that in my life !!!!!

Thanks for sharing. Awesome kit loving this😉👍🤓

I need to see that beast builded!

Pretty good video review of that monster of a model. When you start to build it, can you do a size comparison to 1:35 and/or 1:48 Panther tanks..like some of the main parts. Its hard to really imagine how big this bad boy is. Thanks.

Found a way to stop the metal gun drooping.

Hi Andy, tank RU-vid ery much for this review. After a long waiting time & decided me to take this "big challenge". Till now my Panthers were only 1/35 & 1/25 😉. Alter visit the Panzer Museum Munster and see the Panther live (you know what I mean, you was there too), it is really impresive. I decided me to build this hughe Model. I love the Panther tank. Congratulations for your channel, all the best!

Impressive kit! Looking forward to your build video.

Good vid as always , looking forward to the build on this one Andy!

cant wait for the build video

Dear Santa...No, no way to hide this box of my wife.

The trumpeter panther late version kit only has steel wheels, I’d prefer rubber. So, can this be built into a late version? It has the chin mantle, what about crew heater?

Man, that thing is a BEAST!

Where's Andy lol

Sorry, I had to skip through most of that, but are you gonna build, paint and weather this beast? I hope so!

Monolithic Model,Thax Andy great vid.

Perfect, super puper big model!!!

Very nice, now a Sherman? 😁

Good lord that is a bigg’un! Man that oughta be cool, very cool! Thanks Andy! 👍👍✌🏻I’m gonna have to ask Santy Claus for one of those! Yes indeedy! Doug H

An awesome build.

😮 вау!!! Вот это наборчик!!!

Really Big Panther !!!

Andy you know you can use the Taigan/ Heng Long metal tracks for this since they have panther models in 1/16

Far out! 👍

I got the 1/16 Jagdtiger in the stash....dont have the courage to start it LOL

please do a 2nd part, i really wanna see the finished model!

Just finished a Mini Art kit, can’t be as bad as that.

Holy crap! That model is huge! Not a plastic kit modeler, I had no idea they made them that big. What's the price on something like that?

Great Job. I want this kit.

Has anyone ever done a cutaway version of this? I understand the mentality behind covering up your work, but in this case we're covering up detail provided in the kit, not my erratic rantings/ravings and getting carried away.

Waiting for hoy yo build It Up ASAP!!!!!!!😃

Honey I think we should the modeller!

Insane kit!

I've built or am building both Takom 1-35th King Tiger and Panther with full interiors...do the 1/16th scales for Trumpeter have the hull to the tub mating issues as Takom's 1/35 scales?

Is their an optional Turret Ring Stand for 1 /16 Tanks ? IF not it shouldnt be too hard to construct one to show the interior
