Re: Info On Dragons Soviet Panther 60268

Here's a picture of 60268.

And a description that I found:
Dragon Armor 1/72 Captured Panther G Soviet Army Eastern Front Lake Balaton Hungary 1945 (60268)
Dragon Armor has previously released “captured” tanks in its 1/72 scale range. These have included a T-34/76 in German use and a Sherman Firefly also in German service. Germany was critically short of tanks after it bit off more than it could chew by opening an Eastern Front against Russia, so it employed additional tanks wherever it could find them. However, in Dragon Armor’s latest release the shoe is on the other foot (or should that be the track is on the other road wheel?)! This time, a captured German Panther Ausf. G tank is in service with a Russian unit! The tank still carries its original 3-colour camo scheme but it is identified as a Russian tank by the red star with white outline painted on the turret sides. The German camo scheme and the recently added Soviet insignia are carefully painted over a textured coat of zimmerit.
