Product Description

[Super Blitz] is a more refined new series that builds upon the company's existing [Blitz] brand, which prioritizes ease of assembly with a smaller number of parts and combines it with Takom's standard precision detail. It further reduces the number of parts without compromising accuracy and features a simpler design.
[Super Blitz] is a series that provides modelers with an efficient and comfortable assembly experience.

The Panther Ausf. F was an improved version following the Ausf. G, designed to address the need for stronger armor based on previous combat experience and to improve production efficiency.
Development of this vehicle began at the end of 1943. It was equipped with a KwK44/1 tank gun and a Schmalturm (small turret) with a stereoscopic rangefinder, which slightly reduced its weight. At the same time, its defensive capabilities were enhanced by narrowing the width of the frontal armor plate to reduce the surface area of the turret, and by using a Saukopf (pig's head) shaped main gun mantlet to prevent shot traps.
When the first Schmalturm prototype was built in 1944, it was mounted on a standard G-type chassis in August, and the following January, a second prototype turret was mounted on another G-type chassis.
The mass production plan in October 1944 stated that the F model would begin production between March and May 1945. However, by January 1945, the initial completion date had been postponed to June-August, and the war ended before production could begin.
After the war, the prototype turrets were seized by the American and British armies and sent to their respective countries for evaluation.
