CONCLUSION

This model surely was a change and definitely

outside of my historical comfort zone. However,

this fictional design is not entirely out of the realm

of realism and some aspects do reflect the possible

transition of the Panther to the modern Leopard.

Also, I must again emphasise the quality of the

resin parts from Paper Panzer Productions, which

are also suitable for modellers who have limited

experience with resin kits. All in all, this was a very

refreshing subject for me and fictional or not: The

result is a very impressive looking tank indeed! U
