Italeri Sd.Kfz.Panther Ausf. A Model Kit

The Panther was developed for the German Army more than 50 years ago. It was one of the most efficient and famous vehicles of WWII. It was created together with the well-known tank mark VI Tiger. This tank entered service in 1943 supporting the Mark IV tanks, which had difficulties to oppose the onslaught of Soviet T-34 tanks on the Eastern front. During the following two years of the war this powerful tank was present in all war zones: Italy, France as well as during the final battles on German soil. It proved its qualities against its adversaries, from Sherman to Stalin.
