1/48 German Tank Panther Ausf.D
Great news for modelers of smaller scale armor, as the compact 1/48 Military Miniature Series welcomes the Panther Ausf.D, the very first variant of the highly-rated German tank. Developed partly in answer to the Soviet T-34, the Panther offered a complete performance package, with an imposing L/70 7.5cm gun, sloped armor for superior survivability, and excellent maneuverability. Around 840 Ausf.D Panthers were produced between January and September 1943.
