Historical application and detailed vehicle description

The Panther Ausf. D was a German medium tank that entered service during World War II, in 1943, and was used until the end of the war by the Wehrmacht. It was developed as a response to increasingly powerful Soviet designs, especially the T-34. The Panther D took part in, among others, the famous Battle of Kursk. One of the characteristic features of this vehicle was its extensive engine deck ventilation grilles, the realistic reproduction of which is made possible by the Aber 48A33 set.
