Scale portrayal of the Panther Ausf. D by Tamiya 32597

Debuting at the Battle of Kursk in July 1943, the Panther Ausf. D combined sloped armour, a 7.5cm gun and an approximate 700hp engine. Tamiya's 1/48 model conveys these essential aspects, letting modellers recreate a compact, accurate piece of WWII armour.

Crafting the model and display considerations

The kit supports careful assembly and offers scope for realistic weathering. Using Tamiya Color paints helps achieve historically appropriate shades. Finished examples are suited to display cabinets and thematic exhibits.

Historical overview and build guidance

This miniature highlights the Panther Ausf. D's noteworthy engineering elements, offering a chance to study form and function at model scale. It is useful both as a teaching reference and as a polished collector item.

Great price for the item and perfect rate for shipping-a buyer does very well shopping at RCJAZ!
This release focuses on the external hull and running gear. Internal detail is limited, so those wanting full interiors should look for specialised aftermarket sets.
Assembly time varies by skill level and finishing choices. Allow several evenings for careful build and painting to reach a display standard.
Track and running gear are modelled for 1/48 and show good definition. Precise painting and weathering will enhance the appearance further.
Keep models dust free in a cabinet or display case, avoid direct sunlight to protect paints, and allow adhesive and paint to cure fully before long term display.
