Zvezda Snap Kit snap-in kit

The models of the Zvezda series of the Snap Kit series are intended mainly for beginning builders. Individual plastic pieces need to be cut from the moldings with a knife or snapped out with pliers. The plastic pieces are designed so that they can snap together and thus hold together. We definitely recommend gluing the individual pieces together after clicking to increase the strength of the models, eg with Revell Contacta Professional glue.

The assembled model must then be painted with enamel (synthetic) or acrylic paints on plastic models.

Template information:

Panzerkampfwagen The Panther (SdKfz 171) was a German tank produced in 1942-1945. The Panther embodied the German response to the Russian T-34/76 tank. He overcame it both by the strength of the armor and especially by the performance and accuracy of the 7.5 cm KwK 42 L / 70, which was to be able to destroy the T-34 at a distance of 3,000 meters. The Panther is often described as the best medium tank of World War II, but it is a somewhat contradictory statement, because its weight corresponds more to a heavy tank, it is similar to the Soviet IS-2, or American M26 Pershing. The Panther excelled in its mobility and maximum speed of 55 km / h. Oblique armor was used on the tank, which in some places reached a thickness of up to 80 mm. The Panther was first deployed at the Battle of Kursk, but this was done without prior testing and rectification. In the end, therefore, their performance was rather disappointing. Ausf.D was the first version of the Panther, from January to September 1943 was produced 842 machines.
