Meng TS-035 1/35 Sd.Kfz 171 Panther Ausf A Late

The Panzer Kampfwagen V Panther was a revolutionary German medium tank that saw service during the Second World War. First seeing combat during the epic Battle of Kursk in Russia in 1943, it became the backbone of the German Panzerwaffe until the end of the war. Its 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 long tank gun could penetrate almost all the armor of its rivals. Sloped armor provided strong protection, touted to be better than the Tiger I. The Panther's Maybach HL230 engine could drive the vehicle to run at the high speeds up to 50km/h. Its wide tracks and interleaved road wheels distributed the weight evenly even on soft ground. The Panther was a perfect response to the desperate needs of German Panzer units in the latter stages of the war.
