Can't speak to the diff model numbers from Academy that you cite. I gather it has something to do with single-motor, two-motor, static offerings, or, the Academy-originated Panther G.
I have both of the Academy 2-motor wired remote-control Panthers; the Panther A and the JagdPanther. Both are sprue-for-sprue knockoffs of the original Tamiya kits from the late 60s. Both have snap-together link by link track.
Both are pretty cool despite folks waving their Jentz & Doyles in disgust.
As I understand it, the Academy Panther G is a re-tooled effort using the Panther A as a staring point. And, that it offered multi-sectioned "band tracks", versus traditional 1-pc band tracks. |
