Received my new Cyber Hobby Panther today. Opened up the package, and was immediately disappointed.
In the past the Cyber Hobby 1/72 items that I've purchased have come in metal tins. This newest one, comes in the standard plastic case and card board box "wrapper" that most of the Dragon Armors come in. Very disappointing! For the money I would have expected the "extra treatment" and this one fails.
As for the actual tank, it has the distinctive plastic heft to it.
I do like the camouflage scheme and it does look very nice. But definitely not for the price I paid straight from Cyber Hobby.
Here's a picture of it (I hope to have the rest of my pics I took posted to my web site in next few days):
