Panzer Art RE35-348 Dug in Panther tank improvised “strong point” (Italian Front) 1/35

Panzer Art RE35-348 is a high-quality resin upgrade kit depicting a dug-in German Panther tank used as an improvised strongpoint on the Italian Front. The model is precisely replicated in the popular 1/35 scale, allowing for accurate reproduction of even the smallest details characteristic of battle scenes from the Apennine Peninsula during World War II.

Historically, dug-in Panther tanks were used by German forces mainly in the final years of the war (1944-1945), when retreating units were required to strengthen their defensive lines. Such improvised strongpoints appeared especially in Italy, where the mountainous terrain necessitated the use of vehicles as static bunkers, often camouflaged in the earth—as presented in the Panzer Art RE35-348 model. For example, archival photos document the use of dug-in Panthers during the Battle of Monte Cassino and along the Gothic Line.
