| It doesn't have zimmerit. This is my third favorite Panther that Dragon has done to date. Would love to see an IR Panther and halftrack. |
Yes, thankfully it has no zimmerit. Dragon got it right with this one!
I also agree with you that an IR Panther would be most interesting, and Dragon still has to provide us with a Panther D and a Panther A!! (I always felt that the Panther is the most beautiful tank of WW2; I'd love to see all variants in this scale).

However, I found the Leopard 2, winter camo on sale for $9.00. I have always thought that that particular Leopard 2 was a very nice model. I am looking forward to it arriving. I also appreciate the historical input.

You're a lucky man, Copland: you got a hell of a model for a song!!! Dragon's Leopard 2 is a very good model, and the "winter" scheme is absolutely awsome! Dragon based this model on a Baulos (batch) 7 tank of PzBtl 214, 7.PzDiv (CMTC Hohenfels); the vehicle was photographed during winter manoeuvres in December 1995 (the real tank had had its side skirts removed).
