Verlinden has released some very interesting items coined 'Point Blank'. These are turrets that have penetration holes and ricochet marks on them. These turrets are perfect for knocked out tanks.
The detail parts such as hatches etc need to be taken from the intended kits. This review sample Came in a white box with no box art and also did not state which kit it to be used with. Since this is a new product I am assuming a Dragon kit....I will update this when I contact Verlinden about this.
No instructions are included in this kit but the donor kit instruction will come in handy for parts locations.
Unlike the T-34 and T-72 'Point blank' turrets, this Panther turret does come with some extra parts. These are not for the turret but are damaged roadwheels, Sprocket, rear stowage box and some rubber tires that came off the wheel rims.
Some images of the turret with holes and buckled side turret plate.
Conclusion:
What can I say, I really like this turret and can't wait to use it. The extra damaged items are most welcome and will save one time in trying to do these themselves.
You can see this item being used on a Dragon Late G Panther here
