Italeri 7018 - 1/72 SD.KFZ 171 'Panther' AUSF. A: Scale Replica Overview

The Italeri 7018 brings the SD.KFZ 171 'Panther' AUSF. A to life in a 1/72 scale format, ideal for display cabinets or tabletop dioramas. The model balances compact size with faithful surface detail for modellers focused on realism.

Period Role and Model Accuracy

Fielded from 1943, the Panther combined armour improvements with a 75mm KwK 42 L/70 gun to counter contemporary Soviet armour such as the T-34. The kit mirrors these historic traits without speculative additions, staying true to known wartime characteristics.

Assembly Considerations

This kit delivers a rewarding build but asks for careful assembly techniques due to delicate parts. Builders should allow time for precise fitting around the turret and hull to achieve a clean finished look.
