To counter the ascendancy of the Russian T-34 tank, the German Panther first
appeared on the battlefield in July 1943 at the Battle of Kursk. The Panther
offered a fine combination of mobility, protection and firepower, and by the
war’s end it was Germany’s third most produced German armored fighting vehicle.
The most common (and final) variant produced was the Ausf.G, which featured
thicker armor and a redesigned hull.
Dragon Armor’s newest large-scale release is a Late Production variant of the
Panther G dressed in markings of 9. Panzerdivision “Hohenstaufen”. The unit
name Hohenstaufen referred to a famous line of German rulers in the 12th and
13th centuries. This division was based in France at the time of the Allied
landings in Normandy in June 1944. After arriving in the area in late June after
suffering repeated air attacks, it was engaged in fierce battles around Caen.
After a fighting withdrawal, it was able to escape the Falaise pocket, and it
proceeded to retreat through France and Belgium. This new 1/35 scale tank is
the first Dragon Armor Panther G bearing a coating of Zimmerit, a feature that
has been accurately replicated in miniature. Painted in a three-color camouflage
scheme, the model also wears large tactical numbers on the turret sides. This
fine fully assembled model features an accompanying of a pre-painted 1/35 Geman
figure. Taken from a pool of available figures, the figure varies from model
to model in random selection.
