Takom 8007 Ersatz M7 2 in 1 1/35 – plastic model kit

Takom 8007 Ersatz M7 2 in 1 is an advanced plastic model kit in 1/35 scale, offering a unique opportunity to build one of the German Ersatz M7 vehicles from the Second World War period. This model was inspired by the German project aimed at disguising the true purpose of vehicles from the Allies—in this case, it is the so-called “Panther dressed as an M7 Priest,” used by German forces during the infamous Operation Greif in the Ardennes Offensive in December 1944.

In the Takom 8007 set, you will find a two-in-one build option (2 in 1): the model allows the choice of details, enabling you to replicate specific vehicles used by the special units under the command of Otto Skorzeny. Ersatz M7 is one of the most fascinating German deception actions—based on the Panther tank chassis, several vehicles were built to impersonate American M7 Priest self-propelled howitzers, in order to confuse Allied forces. Most of these vehicles appeared during the Battle of the Ardennes in 1944–1945.
