Meng Model TS-054 Panther Ausf.G Late w/ FG1250 Active Infrared Night Vision System 1/35

Meng Model TS-054 Panther Ausf.G Late w/ FG1250 Active Infrared Night Vision System 1/35 is an advanced plastic model kit designed for enthusiasts of historical armored vehicles in 1/35 scale. This set is a faithful replica of the late variant of the German medium tank Panther Ausführung G equipped with the unique FG1250 active infrared night vision system. This model perfectly captures the construction details of the vehicle used by the Wehrmacht in the final stages of World War II.

The Panther Ausf.G belonged to the tanks that redefined German armored doctrine. It was widely used on both the Eastern and Western fronts in 1944–1945 and was known for its excellent combination of armament, armor, and mobility. The late "Late" versions differed with, among other things, a reinforced front plate, modified hatches, and new air filters. The unique element of this kit, the FG1250 night vision system, is a true rarity—one of the world's first operationally used active night vision systems. Tanks equipped with this technology were tested and used in the final months of the war, primarily during night combat.

The Meng Model TS-054 kit is made of high-quality plastic, and the design boasts excellent detail fidelity—from armor textures and suspension details to the optical components of the FG1250 system. In the box, you'll also find precise photo-etched (PE) parts to further enhance building realism. The model DOES NOT include glue or paints, allowing the modeler to choose their favorite products according to their preferences.
