German WWII, Panther Sd.Kfz 171 Ausf. A.

Trident, 81020. Plastic & Resin, 1/87 Scale Unassembled Kit.

The Panther is often believed to be the best German tank of the Second World War. When the Germans invaded Russia in June 1941, they were surprised by the quantity and quality of Soviet armor. Hitler ordered that the T-34 be copied and the result was the Panther, which saw action for the first time at Kursk in 1943.

The Panther Tank was armed with a long barreled high velocity 7.5 cm Kampfwagenkanone (KwK) 42 L/70 gun that could knock out most Allied and Soviet tanks at long distances. Around 2200 Panther type A versions were built from August 1943 to August 1944.
