The Dragon 7494 plastic model kit represents one of the most recognizable German tanks of World War II – the Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Ausf.D in its early production version. The model is manufactured in the popular 1/72 scale, making it an ideal choice for both beginner and advanced modelers who appreciate the detail of historical armored vehicles while maintaining a compact collectible form.

The Panther Ausf.D medium tank was introduced into service with the German Army in 1943 as the Wehrmacht's response to the Russian T-34 tanks. The Ausf.D version was the first mass-produced model of the Panther and saw its combat debut during the Battle of Kursk in the summer of 1943. The Dragon 7494 model perfectly captures the distinctive features of vehicles from that period, such as the typical turret shape, geometric, angled armor plates, and the details of the suspension system. The Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Ausf.D was used by Germany in campaigns from 1943 until the end of the war, that is, during World War II.

The model is made from high-quality plastic, allowing even the finest details to be replicated. The kit includes an accurately reproduced turret, a hull with a realistic armor layout, detailed suspension components, realistic segmented tracks, and decals with authentic unit markings. Glue and paints are not included, giving you the freedom to arrange the paint scheme individually.
