The Panther tank is undoubtedly one of the most iconic armoured vehicles of World War II. In this extremely comprehensive book, guided by the hand of some of the best modellers in the world, you will be shown how to build and paint the most accurate and detailed Panther models on the market produced by Takom. From painting the interiors, to the final weathering processes, this comprehensive book defines the different camouflage schemes used at various periods of the war, various levels of weathering, winter camouflage, elements in primer colour, a tool and equipment painting guide, application of Zimmerit, the products and colours suitable for each technique, and much more.
The book also includes an excellent proper historical introduction to the Panther with reference photos that will help you to familiarize yourself with this legendary armoured vehicle, as well as a camouflage guide with 49 colour profiles for all the variants of the Panther. In a nutshell, TAKOM’S PANTHERS is arguably the most complete modelling book ever made about the Panther tank.
The full range of the Panther tank family produced by Takom is generally regarded as the most accurate and complete on the market, both in their level of fine detail and in historical fidelity. These are state-of-the-art models manufactured with the most up to date technology faithful to the exhaustive research and documentation process led by Charlie Pritchett. This effort has resulted in an unprecedented level of detail and fit quality, as well as the option to build a complete replica with all interior components of the hull, turret and engine bay.
