The Panther Ausf. D was the first production variant of the famous Panther tank, introduced into service by Germany in 1943 on the Eastern Front during the Battle of Kursk. Thanks to an outstanding balance of armor, armament (75 mm KwK 42 L/70 gun), and mobility, the Panther quickly gained a reputation as one of the most formidable tanks of World War II. The featured “Late Production” version is distinguished by later modifications – improved hatches, a new type of Zimmerit, and finishes that set the standard for subsequent generations of German tanks.

The model is intended for intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level: 4/5) – requiring patience and precision, especially when working with photo-etched parts and the detailed interior. Building this model offers insight into the tank’s construction and enables a display of both its external silhouette and complex interior.

We recommend the Takom 2104 to all World War II history enthusiasts, armor modeling specialists, and collectors seeking a high-quality, detailed, and faithfully replicated model. This kit serves as an excellent foundation for personalization, weathering, or dioramas depicting the tank in action.
