Product: 1:35 FLAK PANTHER Ausf.D s.Pz.Jg.Abt.653
The Panther medium tank was the third-most widely produced German AFV of
WWII, and different variants evolved such as a recovery vehicle and tank
destroyer. Field conversions also occurred, and one of these was a rare
transformation of a Panther into an antiaircraft vehicle. It was a
one-off field conversion, and the resulting AFV was employed by the
headquarters company of the 653rd Heavy Panzerjäger Battalion (Schwere
Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653, or s.Pz.Jg.Abt.653) during the titanic Battle of Kursk.
This kit is a perfect combination of Dragon’s existing Panther Ausf.D
medium tank and four-barreled 2cm Flakvierling 38 kits. s.Pz.Jg.Abt.653
was an interesting unit and it featured some interesting vehicle
conversions, this one included. As for the kit, there are photo-etched
parts included in the box, as are all plastic parts needed to create
this unusual but good-looking German air defense vehicle. At long last,
modelers are now able to get their hands on such a rare converted Panther.
