Affordable 1/56 Scale Plastic Model Kit of Germany’s Masterpiece Tank- About the Actual Vehicle:The Sd.Kfz.171 Panther tank is often regarded as the most outstanding tank among German tanks of World War II. Featuring a design with sloped armor that excels in deflecting shots, it was influenced by the Soviet T-34 encountered during the German-Soviet War and is armed with a powerful 75mm gun. It made its combat debut in July 1943 during the Battle of Kursk. Throughout its production, the Panther tank underwent various improvements, with the A model being produced after the initial mass-produced D model. Enhancements included increased reliability of the transmission and the installation of a new turret equipped with a periscope cupola. Over 2000 units were produced between 1943 and 1944, with continuous refinements leading to the G model, considered the most superior version.- About the Model:This model is a plastic assembly kit that reproduces the A model of the Panther tank, a masterpiece of the German Army during World War II, in 1/56 scale. With a finished length of 121mm, it vividly captures the sharp and powerful appearance of the Panther tank with its sloped armor. The 1/56 scale, larger than 1/72 but more compact than 1/35, sets a new standard for military models. The kit is designed with an emphasis on ease of assembly, while keeping the number of parts manageable, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy its presence and size effortlessly. The hull and turret are modeled with the Zimmerit coating applied during the late war period to protect against magnetic anti-tank mines. Side skirts are included, enhancing the model’s realism. Additionally, the lower chassis features an integrated design for the road wheels, and the tracks are represented in two segments, top and bottom.
