Historical Background:

The Panther A Late version incorporated improvements from 1944 production, including a larger turret bustle, split loaders hatch, and improved communication gear for command variants. The Sd.Kfz. 268 command version featured extra antenna fittings and map storage. This kit faithfully recreates these upgrades, letting builders depict either frontline battle tank or command vehicle roles accurately.
