Dive into a challenging build with our Panther tank model, a kit that not only tests your skills but also rewards with incredible detail and historical accuracy. This 940-piece set replicates the iconic Panther tank at a 1:33 scale, meticulously capturing every aspect from the distinctive sloped armor to the protective side skirts that contributed to its battlefield prowess.
With dimensions of 20cm long, 9.6cm wide, and 8.8cm high, this model showcases the Panther’s advanced design, including its challenging turret with various slopes—a rewarding task for any advanced builder. The kit includes a user-friendly modular design, allowing you to open up parts of the hull to reveal a simple yet detailed representation of the interior, including seats, the transmission, and the engine.
This kit is designed for those who relish a building challenge. The intricate assembly of the turret, combined with the overall complexity of the model, makes it a perfect choice for seasoned builders or those looking to elevate their building experience.
This kit faithfully recreats the Panther Ausf.D which was the first produced panther (interestingly, Ausf. A was the second model). It can be distinguished by its lack of a hull machine gun and the cylindrical commander’s cupola.
The Panther tank, designated as Sd.Kfz. 171, is a German medium tank developed during WW2 to counter the Soviet T-34 on the eastern front. After studies on captured T-34s, the first prototype was built in September 1942. Despite numerous unresolved technical problems, it was rushed into combat in the summer of 1943 at the Battle of Kursk. As a result, the Panther became the most controversial panzer: while it is considered one of the best WW2 tanks by some for its excellent firepower and armour, it is thought over engineered and unreliable by others due to its mechanical problems.
Having essentially the same Maybach V12 petrol engine as the Tiger I, the Panther had a very high power-to-weight ratio and thus better mobility. Its 7.5 mm Kw.K 42 L/70 long barrelled gun was capable of penetrating the armor of most Allied tanks at long ranges. Although the Panther doesn’t have the 100 mm thick front armour plate like the Tiger, the sloped 80 mm armour plate gave a more effective protection. Despite its effectiveness, the production of the Panther was expensive and the German army struggled to produce enough tanks to keep up with the demands of the war. Additionally, the Panther was difficult to maintain and required a significant amount of resources to keep in operation. Interestingly, the naming of Panther production variants did not follow alphabetical order: the initial variant is Ausf. D, which was followed by “A” and “G” variants. Around 6,000 were produced overall.

Its very good the tracks didn’t work at first, but after a week or so, it was working OK although the drive sprocket at the front was an issue, the little Technic part between the two large gear pieces is too small to keep the track aligned so it pushed the end gear off the bar piece holding it together, but if you use the 12 tooth gear (32270) it will fit nice and snug and will stop the tracks from not being aligned and will not push the other gear and when you do that the tracks then work amazingly but besides that the main tank is so good very good interior and outside looks great clutch power like a real Lego brick high quality overall a phenomenal product i also got a stung 3 also very good

Hi Enzo, thank you for your detailed feedback and for sharing your solution – that’s really helpful. We’ll take a closer look at this and see if any improvements are needed for future batches. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the tank overall!

The details are exactly as seen on the packaging. It really is a beauty ! I would totally recommend, easy build for a very much detailed and beautiful Panther D !
(However, if I could make a suggestion, it would be to add the parts to be able to do the other variants of the Panther.)

Amazing build, great attention to detail and challenging enough to make it fun for experienced builders.
The ropes at the sides where too long to really make work, but the rest worked perfectly.

Great product was very happy with the final product, wasn’t too hard to build. Wish the pricing was a little lower but I understand why they are that high, will definitely purchase from you guys again!

Great tank, but only 1 problem, the tracks get stuck on the pieces holding up the sides, that is an issue with many of your tanks, so maybe rework the tracks area, but still a great build, but I have a question, will you ever release the Panther Ausf A and Ausf G as shown on the Manual?
Alison –
The tank is great, my only issue is that the tracks get stuck to the pieces holding up the sides makeing it hard to move, also one last question, will you ever release the ausf A and Ausf G variants shown on the Manuel?

Hi, thanks for the photo! However, the assembly seems wrong. You may need to double check the steps for the front armour and the turret 🙂

Really good build and loads of spare parts. This is my second product from buildarmy and I’ll be getting more in the future. Only thing to note is the final product is extremely delicate and not really very suitable for a kids toy or present and only as a display model
