Dragon Armor has already produced one 1/72 scale model of a German Panther representing a tank from the extremely popular Black Knight comic book originating in Japan. Now another stunning collectible item from the same series has arrived! In contrast to the Early-Production Panther G earlier, this newest item is a Panther Ausf.G Late Production type fighting on the Eastern Front in the 1944-45 timeframe. Utilizing accurately detailed molds from previous 1/72 scale renditions of this famous German tank, the assembled model has been masterfully painted in an appropriate three-color camouflage scheme just like those that appear in the Japanese comic books.
This Panther Ausf.G belonging to the combat-experienced commander carries the distinctive tactical markings of the Black Knight unit. The tank wears an authentic-looking Zimmerit coating too. Another special feature of this finely detailed miniature is the dioramic card background fitted inside the display box. This colored scenic backdrop was designed and illustrated by none other than the comic artist Motofumi Kobayashi himself! The quality of the artwork, as well as the uncompromising craftsmanship of the model, is destined to make this item as equally sought after as the first Black Knight tank from Dragon Armor. This is a must-have for all Black Knight fans.
Designed to replace to the PzKpfw IV, which had met its match in the new Soviet T-34, the Panzerkampfwagen V "Panther" series of heavy tanks were armed with powerful weapons and equally powerful armor protection. Thought by many to be the best German tank of WWII, the Panther featured a sloped armored turret with a long barrel 75mm main gun and an anti-aircraft 7.92mm machine gun. It was equipped with anti-magnetic paste to combat magnetic mines, and armor skirts offered further protection for the track system and crew. Approximately 5,500 Panthers were built during WWII. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
