Panzer V Ausf A. 1/72 Italeri-7018

The Panzerkampfwagen V “Panther” was one of the most outstanding tanks of World War II. Designed in response to the superior Soviet T-34 and KV-1, which outperformed and outgunned the obsolete Panzer III and Panzer IV, the Panther became a key piece in the German arsenal. Equipped with a 700-horsepower Maybach V-12 engine and a high-velocity KwK 42 75 mm KwK 42 cannon, the Panther excelled in combat, especially in its anti-tank role. Its innovative design included a sloped frontal armor that enhanced protection, along with excellent mobility and speed. These features positioned it as one of the best tanks of the war. It was used on all major fronts, from Italy and France to the eastern front, playing a crucial role in German army operations.
