Tamiya 35065 1/35 German Panther Medium Tank WWII Scale Model Kit  [35065]

Detailed 1/35 Panther Medium Tank Kit

The Tamiya 1/35 scale German Panther Medium Tank model kit captures the Panther's form with precise plastic parts and realistic surface detail. This static kit recreates one of World War II's most recognised tanks, noted for its 75mm main gun and angled armor design.

Wartime Background and Engineering

First produced in 1942, the Panther was developed by Daimler-Benz and M.A.N. to match evolving battlefield threats. Although the original design targeted a 35-ton limit, added protection increased its weight and the Maybach HL230 engine became standard. The kit reflects the Panther's progression from Type D into the later Type G and touches on its confrontations with heavy Soviet tanks like the JS II.

Build Experience and Display Qualities

This is a display-oriented model with finely moulded components. The set includes two figures portraying a driver and commander, pliable tracks for realistic sag, and a well-detailed gun barrel. Waterslide decals and clear, step-by-step instructions help deliver a satisfying assembly and display result.
