Takom Panther Ausf F SdKfz 171 1/35 Model Kit

Build the ultimate planned development of the German Panther tank with this Takom Blitz Super 1/35 Panther Ausf F SdKfz 171 plastic model kit. The Ausf F was intended to take the Panther design further with the compact narrow Schmalturm turret and proposed rubber-saving road wheels, known as Gummisparende Laufwerke.

The design promised improved protection and simplified production, but Germany’s surrender in 1945 brought the project to an end before series manufacture could begin. This makes the Panther Ausf F a distinctive subject for modellers interested in late-war German armour and 1/35 vehicles.

Blitz Super Series Features

This Takom Blitz Super series kit includes a metal barrel, providing a useful component for the main armament. Photo-etch parts are also supplied as part of the kit, adding further detail to the finished Panther Ausf F.

The vehicle hatches can be fitted in either open or closed positions, giving the modeller a choice when deciding how to present the completed tank. The kit also features link and length tracks, combining individual and longer track sections for the running gear.

Four Marking Choices

Four marking choices are provided, offering alternative finishing options for the model. Together with the selectable hatch positions, metal barrel, photo-etch parts and link and length tracks, these features provide several choices during assembly and finishing.

As a 1/35 scale plastic model kit, the Panther Ausf F requires paint and glue for completion. The subject represents the planned final development of the Panther rather than a vehicle that entered series manufacture, with its narrow Schmalturm turret and proposed rubber-saving road wheels distinguishing it from earlier Panther designs.

Takom 35003 combines this late-war German tank project with the features of the Blitz Super series. The metal barrel, photo-etch components, link and length tracks, open or closed hatch options and four marking choices provide a detailed 1/35 representation of the planned Panther Ausf F SdKfz 171.
