Italeri Panther Ausf. D Tank Model Kit 1:35

The Italeri Panther Ausf. D brings one of the most recognized armored vehicles of the Second World War into a 1:35 model kit format with a subject that suits both focused assembly and historically themed display. As the first operational Panther version, the Ausf. D gives the build a defined place in the vehicle's development and a clear reference point for period finishing choices. The full-size Panzerkampfwagen V was developed in response to the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 after the Panzer III and Panzer IV had fallen behind on the Eastern Front. Its layout combined sloped frontal armor, mobility, speed and firepower in a way that made the type stand out across multiple theatres, including Italy, France and the Eastern Front. The original vehicle used a 700-horsepower Maybach V-12 engine and a high-velocity 75 mm KwK 42 gun, details that give the subject its distinct technical identity within Second World War armor history. On the bench, the 1:35 scale supports careful painting, weathering and integration into diorama scenes without demanding excessive display space. The detailed plastic kit structure keeps the focus on the build itself, whether the finished Panther Ausf. D is presented as a standalone tank or placed into a broader historical collection. Recommended age: 14 years and up.
