Tamiya 32597 - 1/48 Scale German Panther Ausf. D Collector Kit  [32597]

1/48 Panther Ausf. D kit from Tamiya 32597

The Panther Ausf. D first saw large scale action at the Battle of Kursk in July 1943. Known for its angled armor, a 7.5cm gun and about 700hp engine, this tank is well represented in Tamiya's 1/48 rendition. The model captures the silhouette and key features for historically minded builders.

Assembly experience and display outcome

This Tamiya kit offers model builders clear parts and options for lifelike weathering. Using Tamiya Color paints helps reproduce period-correct tones. Finished builds make excellent additions to cabinets or dioramas focused on WWII armour.
