It looks to me like an Italeri fast build kit but if you say it is 1/100th I guess it cannot be
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

It could be Zevezda (sp?) they have a 1/100th range, though there is quite a lot of parts for one of their kits.

Well the hull is

Model 76mm long & 37mm wide ?

real = Length 6.87 m Width    3.27 m

yes a few things wrong with this suggestion.

1) it is odd there are no tools/track links/stuff moulded down the hull sides ?
2) turret has large hole & ring not a peg.
3) hull bottom does not have lips moulded to the sides to go over the tracks.
4) tracks appear to be a single moulding of track & sprockets & return idler with outer road wheels added afterwards
Also one of the rear engine fans has a raised box around it.

Those numbers make it HO, 3.5mm to the foot or 1/87 (okay 1/90 and 1/88).

Roco have a range of HO military models, but the ones I have seen have roller wheels.

Trident has a 1/87. It's hard to compare the details from their single, low-res pics, though. Try G.

It's NOT the Battlefront 1/100 plastic Panther as the layout of parts is different from the one I have right in front of me.

I'm guessing it's armourfast.  Looks like their style of running gear.

It isn't PSC or Zvezda. I just looked at the sprues. Sure it isn't Roco either, unless they've retooled their rather ropey Panther.

I agree, scale and details match.

Thanks guys.

Anyone want it for the price of postage ?

pins that locate tracks have been broken , well all but one , however it does not look like a very strong way to fasten them for a war games model ?

regards Paul
