Airfix Panther The Panther is a German medium tank deployed during WW2 on the Eastern and Western Fronts in Europe from mid-1943 to the war's end in 1945. The Panther was born out of a project started in 1938 to replace the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks. Developed initially to counter the Soviet's T-34, the Panther was sent to frontline units in the spring of 1943, and first saw major combat at Kursk. WIth the correction of the production-related mechanical difficulties, the Panther became highly popular with German tankers and a fearsome weapon on the battlefield. These Airfix model kits will require paints and glue to complete.
