Dragon 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.V Panther Ausf.A early production

The kit proposed by Dragon company includes a plastic model kit of German medium tank in 1:72 scale.

Pz.Kpfw.V Panther is a German medium tank from the period of the Second World War, equipped with a 75mm caliber gun KwK.42 L/70. The prototype of this construction was created in 1942, while in 1943 it was introduced to the front service during the Battle of the Kursk as a response to Soviet tanks type T-34. The tank was very emergency, which led to numerous technical problems. The tank was produced in three main versions: Ausf.A / Ausf.D / Ausf.G. By the end of the war, less than 6,000 units left the factories. Tank destroyers Jagdpanther and rescue vehicles Bergepanther were built on the chassis of the Pz.Kpfw.V. It was also planned to modify the tank with thicker armor, 88mm gun and Schamlturm tower.

The Ausf.A version was an improvement of the Ausf.D version, which was equipped with a new commanders dome, improved components of the chassis and the addition of a spherical yoke for the machine gun in the front armor plate.
