The M1 Panther II represents a mine-clearing modification of the M1 Abrams family, purpose-built for breaching hazardous ground. This Trumpeter 1:72 kit captures the vehicle's clearance kit and silhouette for enthusiasts who enjoy military modelling challenges.
In service the Panther II is fitted with ploughs and rollers to remove or detonate buried threats. The vehicle has an operational mass near 43 tons and can clear extensive minefields quickly, with documented rates as high as 5,000 square metres per hour when using its clearance gear.
The finished model measures 147.75 mm by 61.28 mm by 52.7 mm, offering a compact footprint with a high level of realism. The set contains 91 plastic pieces across four sprues plus lower and upper hull components and two strip rubber tracks, making it a neat project for display cases or diorama builds.
