Tamiya

 1/35 Scale 

The Ausf. D was the debut variant of the famed German WWII Panther tank. It offered a complete performance package, with firepower from the imposing L/70 7.5cm gun, excellent protection afforded by its sloped armor and maneuverability thanks to a roaring 700hp gasoline engine. Around 840 Ausf. D Panthers were produced between January and September of 1943, and the first time it appeared on the battlefield was in the Battle of Kursk in July of that year. It was followed by improved Ausf. A and G variants, and while the Panther was unable to stop the tide from turning against Germany, it nonetheless revolutionized German armored vehicle design and remained on the front line until the end of the war.
