This fully finished tank model has been painstakingly assembled by Tamiya craftsmen, with the
high level of workmanship clearly on display. Realistic detailing includes fully articulated tank
treads and distinctive hull shape. Includes slanted stripe 3-color camouflage that is not described
in assembly kit painting instructions.
Developed as a countermeasure to the Soviet T-34, the German Panther tank was produced
from 1943 until the end of the war and served alongside the Panzer III, IV and Tiger tanks. The
Panther tank featured sloped armor, powerful 700hp Maybach engine and a turret placed far
back on the hull mounting a 75mm L/70 cannon. The main gun was even more devastating than
its size of 75mm would suggest, due to the large propellant charge and long barrel with high
muzzle velocity.
