Historical Description

The Panther Ausf. D was the first variant of one of the most famous German tanks of World War II. It was introduced into service in 1943 and participated in operations on both the Eastern and Western fronts, including at Kursk and Normandy. In response to the growing dominance of Allied air power, ground crews often installed additional anti-aircraft shields, especially protecting the upper part of the vehicle against aerial attacks and shrapnel. The photo-etched parts included in this set reproduce precisely this type of solution used in Wehrmacht armored units.
