Voyager Model PEA374 WWII German Panther A/D Schurzen For TAMIYA 1/35

The Voyager Model PEA374 WWII German Panther A/D Schurzen detail-up set was specially designed for Tamiya models in 1/35 scale and is intended for German Panther Ausf. A/D tanks from World War II. This set belongs to the category of photo-etched parts and allows you to accurately replicate the distinctive Schürzen protective side screens, which were used as additional side armor on these vehicles.

Historical Background

The Panther tank family was one of the most important German armored designs used during World War II (years 1943–1945). The Panther Ausf. D model was introduced into combat in the summer of 1943, while the Ausf. A version appeared at the end of the same year with improved mechanical solutions. Schürzen, or side armor skirts, were used mainly on the Eastern Front to increase protection against shaped charge projectiles and infantry anti-tank weapons. They were commonly seen during operations in the USSR, France, and Germany.
