Tamiya 35065 German Panther Medium Tank 1/35 Scale WWII Model Kit - Historic Armour  [35065]

Scale Model of the Panther Medium Tank

The Tamiya 1/35 German Panther Medium Tank kit reproduces the Panther's silhouette and surface features with high fidelity. This static plastic model represents the WWII Panther, known for its 75mm gun and sloped defensive plates.

Historical Notes and Mechanical Details

Introduced in 1942, the Panther resulted from designs by Daimler-Benz and M.A.N. The initial weight target of 35 tons was exceeded as armour improved, prompting the adoption of the Maybach HL230 powerplant. The kit reflects the evolution from Type D to the improved Type G and touches on engagements with heavy Soviet armour like the JS II.

Construction, Parts and Presentation

Intended for display, the kit includes two figures representing crew members, flexible tracks for authentic drape, and a well-defined gun barrel. Waterslide decals and comprehensive assembly instructions are supplied to help modellers achieve a polished result.
