WS351 “Panther Ausf. G.”
This is the 9th Panther K&C has produced and the first one since 2014...
This latest
Panther Ausf. G is painted in the colour scheme known as
‘Hinterhalt-Tarnung’ or
‘Ambush’ camouflage specifically designed to help conceal combat vehicles under trees and other kinds of foliage.
This particular colour scheme came about from the actual battlefield experience learned from the Normandy campaign where German vehicles and tanks suffered disastrous losses from Allied fighter bomber attacks.
That necessitated a new, improved camouflage of contrasting spots and colours that simulated the shadows and shards of light passing through and under a canopy of trees and woodland.
Together with the very-recently released TIGER this new PANTHER makes a welcome addition to King & Country’s
‘BIG CAT’ Collection.
The model includes the tank commander figure and is representative of a Panther of the
2nd SS Panzer Regiment of the
2nd SS Panzer Division “Das Reich”.
WS353 “Sky-Watching Panzer Crewman”
A Sitting German
‘tanker’ scans the skies for any sign of Allied fighter-bombers.
WS354 “Relaxing Panzer Crewmen”
Two sitting German ‘
tankers ’ enjoy a rare break from battle... Both figures can
‘perch’ on various German tanks and self-propelled guns including both new Tiger and Panther models.
AVAILABLE: Mid to Late June
