Dragon 6160 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther A (1/35) – plastic model kit

The Dragon 6160 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther A model in 1/35 scale is an excellent choice for World War II history enthusiasts and experienced armor modelers. This is an extremely detailed plastic model of the Panther Ausf. A medium tank – one of the most recognizable and innovative German armored vehicles of the era, manufactured by Dragon, a renowned scale model kit producer.

The Panther Ausf. A tank was introduced into German Army (Wehrmacht) service in 1943. The design was created in response to the demands of the Eastern Front after encountering the Soviet T-34. Examples of this version saw combat from mid-1943 until the end of World War II, including at Kursk, in Normandy, the Ardennes, and on the streets of Berlin. The Panther Ausf. A was a modern tank for its time, featuring a powerful 75 mm KwK 42 L/70 gun, well-sloped armor, and a strong Maybach engine.

This featured Dragon model is made of high-quality plastic that precisely reproduces the details of the hull, turret, running gear, and weaponry typical for the Ausf. A version. The kit also includes detailed segment tracks, photo-etched parts, as well as accessories like hatches, handles, and tools, greatly enhancing the final result. The kit does not include resin parts or metal barrels – it relies on highly refined plastic details.
