Product Description

[About the actual vehicle]
――Of the tanks developed and deployed by the German army in World War II, the Sd.Kfz.171 and Panzer V tanks are said to be the most well-balanced masterpiece tanks.
――It is the first German tank to have a body design that uses slanted armor, and it is said that the design was greatly influenced by the Soviet T-34 tank that fought in the German-Soviet war.
-The main gun is equipped with a 7.5 cm gun, which is said to have a penetrating power comparable to that of the 88 mm gun of the Tiger tank.
――With the addition of excellent mobility, it is listed as a masterpiece tank with an excellent balance of offense and defense.
――The first type was produced from 1942, and after that, while improvements and renovations were continued, nearly 6000 cars were produced for each type.
――The F type was planned as an improved type following the G type, and the design was approved in 1944 at the end of the war.
――It was a big feature that it was equipped with a new small turret, Schmalturm, which aimed to reduce the front area and weight.
――Production was scheduled to start in 1945, but due to the deterioration of the war situation, the war ended without production.

[About the model]
-The Panther F type, which ended without being produced due to the defeat of World War II, is precisely reproduced.
――The features of the F type are firmly modeled based on the kit that reproduces the late production type of the Panther G type.
――It is said that the F type was based on steel wheel specifications, and even in the model, the suspension expresses the shape of 800 mm steel wheels with delicate details and enhances the finish of the feet.
――There are two types of rear engine decks, not to mention the shape of the upper part of the body with the slanted armor design. It can be selected and assembled.
――The delicate parts of the louver and grill give you a good feeling.
――In addition, the radiator parts under the louver are also set in two types with different fan shapes.
――And the small turret, Schmalturm, which creates the silhouette unique to the F type, is also a point of charm of the model.
-Not only the shape incorporating the stereo range finder, but also the details such as the cupola and the Zaukov type main gun shield are realistically reproduced.
――In addition, it is a complete kit that includes etched parts that make each detail more delicate.
――It would be fun to paint and mark while expanding your imagination what kind of battle you would have fought if development and production were in time.
――This is one that you definitely want to add to the Panther Family Collection.
