051 Panther G

Additional Information

"Panther" (PzKpfw V) is a German medium tank of the Second World War. The tank was developed by MAN in 1941-1942 as a response to the appearance of the Soviet T-34 tank on the Eastern Front. The Panther was armed with a smaller caliber gun than the Tiger and was considered a medium tank by German classification. In Soviet documents, the “Panther”, in terms of its combat and technical data, usually belonged to heavy tanks; the 75-mm cannon of the “Panther” was superior in armor-piercing effect to the main armament of the Tiger tank - the 8.8 cm KwK 36 L/56 cannon. This Panther is modification G, the final variant, probably the best WW2 tank... The model is painted in three-color camo and then aged in such a way as to better show off the tank, which has seen a lot in its lifetime. Built from the MENG kit, scale 1:35. The tank shows signs of use, rust, soot, chipped paint, dust and dirt. Various modeling solutions from MIG, AMMO, AK Interactive were used. As a final touch, some stowage have been added - wheels, remnants of camouflage tarpaulins. Pay attention to the gun barrel in the factory black primer, which was typical for the very last stage of the war... Three “victory” stripes are visible on the barrel.
