Italeri 7018 - 1/72 SD.KFZ 171 'Panther' AUSF. A: Collector Focus

The Italeri 7018 kit recreates the SD.KFZ 171 'Panther' AUSF. A in 1/72 scale, giving hobbyists a compact yet detailed rendition of this notable WWII tank. With a focus on accurate shapes and surface detail, the model suits collectors and modellers who value historical fidelity.

Design Background and Model Appeal

Introduced in 1943, the Panther combined improved mobility with the 75mm KwK 42 L/70 gun to meet the threats posed by the Soviet T-34. Italeri captures these defining elements so the model reflects the vehicle's wartime role without adding speculative features.

Build Notes

The kit provides a satisfying assembly with finely moulded components that reward careful construction. It is best tackled by builders with some prior experience, as precise fitting and attention to the turret and hull details will improve the finished result.
