Product Description

- A luxurious kit with a unique camouflage tank and German infantry figures
- This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of a camouflage tank that was created by the German army in the Battle of the Ardennes towards the end of World War II to resemble the American M10 tank.

[About the actual car]
Operation Greif was a false flag operation carried out during the Battle of the Bulge, the final German counteroffensive that began on December 16, 1944, towards the end of World War II.
- This was a strategy in which German soldiers dressed in American uniforms boarded captured jeeps and other vehicles to disrupt the Allied rear.
- The operation involved the use of the Panther M10 camouflage tank, a Panther tank disguised as the American M10 tank destroyer.
- The base vehicle was a Panther G, with the turret cupola removed and camouflaged panels made of steel fitted around the turret and hull.
- The color scheme was American military olive drab with a white star mark.
- It is said that five to ten vehicles were built, and they were deployed to the 150th Panzer Division commanded by Otto Skorzeny, who devised the operation, and participated in the operation.
- Unfortunately, it did not achieve any great results, but the finished product surprised even the American troops who captured it.

[About the model]
- The model is a 1/35 scale reproduction of a unique Panther M10 camouflage tank disguised as an M10 tank destroyer.
- The finished vehicle is approximately 190mm long.
- The turret has been modified with camouflage panels, and the panels attached to the sides are also reproduced as a single unit.
- The camouflage parts on the front and rear of the vehicle are exactly the same as on the actual vehicle.
- The finish is reminiscent of the US military's M10 and cannot be missed.
- The undercarriage reproduces in detail the staggered wheels that are unique to the Panther.
- The tracks are made of pre-assembled Magic Tracks, which enhance the realism of the finished product.
- Of course, the markings include the white star markings of the 150th Panzer Division which operated in the Ardennes in 1944.
