Tamiya 35065 1/35 Scale Panther Medium Tank WWII Model Kit - Builder Edition  [35065]

1/35 Scale Panther Medium Tank Model

The Tamiya 1/35 German Panther Medium Tank kit presents the Panther with sharp moulded detail and authentic contours. This static model represents a classic WWII German medium tank equipped with a 75mm main armament and distinctive sloped armor.

Development History and Design Facts

Launched in 1942, the Panther emerged from work by Daimler-Benz and M.A.N. to meet new combat challenges. Although the initial design sought a 35-ton limit, enhanced protection raised the weight and the Maybach HL230 engine was fitted. The model illustrates the transition from early Type D versions to the later Type G and mentions its clashes with Soviet heavy models such as the JS II.

Assembly Notes and Visual Appeal

As a display kit, it includes two plastic crew figures and pliable tracks to allow realistic presentation. The gun barrel is finely detailed and waterslide decals are supplied. Clear instructions support a methodical build and a polished finished model.
