These innovations gave the\nPanther superior firepower and protection compared to many contemporary tanks.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nApproximately 840 Ausf.D Panthers were produced between January and September 1943, and they made\ntheir battlefield debut during the Battle of Kursk. Despite early mechanical issues, Panther\ncrews were able to destroy large numbers of Soviet tanks from ranges of 1,500 to 2,000 meters,\nwhile remaining well-protected by their sloped armor layout.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 1\/35 scale plastic assembly kit faithfully recreates the Ausf.D variant based on intensive\nstudy of the last surviving original vehicle. Ausf.D-specific features such as turret-mounted smoke\ndischargers, early rear hull layout, and authentic surface textures are accurately depicted.\nDesigned for ease of assembly without sacrificing realism, this model is an excellent centerpiece\nfor any WWII armor collection.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50356553285879,"sku":"MH_TAM35345_HH","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/77bd0f2ee9e394b114fd56074e27f58c.jpg?v=1765848655","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/german-panther-ausf-d","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
