Why this kit matters
The Panther D was an early version of the Panther tank, a German medium tank deployed during World War II. This particular kit features the unusual Stadtgas (town gas) fuel tanks, an experimental system designed to extend the tank's operational range during fuel shortages. This configuration represents a unique and rare variation of the Panther D.
This model kit allows you to recreate a distinctive and historically significant vehicle. The Panther D with Stadtgas fuel tanks highlights the resourcefulness and challenges faced by the German military during the war. Building this kit provides insight into the technological and tactical aspects of armoured warfare during this period.
How to use it
This is a plastic model kit that requires assembly. Paint and glue are required for a detailed finish. Use modelling tools to carefully remove parts from the sprues and follow the instructions for assembly. The included Magic Track simplifies the assembly of individual track links. Consider researching historical photos to accurately depict the weathering and markings on your model, paying special attention to the fuel tanks. Once assembled, display your Panther D as a tribute to German engineering and military history.
