The Panther tank, designated Sd. Kfz. 171, was one of the most advanced armored vehicles in the Wehrmacht during World War II. The Ausf. D and Ausf. A versions appeared on the front lines from 1943 and took part in major operations, such as the Battle of Kursk or actions on the Western Front. The side skirts, known as "Schürzen", were installed to improve protection against shaped charge rounds and anti-tank grenades. Properly representing them on your model significantly enhances the realism of both dioramas and collector's replicas.
