Panther
1/6th - Panther 1/8th
 Brief
history of the Panther
Is this the best tank from WWII? Once its known
defects were overcome, including its tendency to 'brew
up', it was widely recognised by the purists as the
best tank of World War II. It had good armour and an
excellent 75mm high velocity gun that had even better
penetrating power than the 88mm gun in the Tiger 1.
It was also highly manoeuvrable and like all German
tanks it also had the best optics of the day. Altogether
this meant that the Panther an awesome foe. Over 6000
were manufactured. With hindsight, had the Germans built
only Panthers and not Tigers (luckily for us they didn't),
they would have had the capacity to produce over 10,000
of them! That might have at least lengthened the war.
So Mr Hitler made a 'right' decision when he went for
those impressive but overly complicated Tigers! As in
real life the Panther model is more manoeuvrable than
a Tiger. This shows up in their superior climbing ability
that is mainly down to their better design of track.
I have seen one climb a 70 degree slope easily! It is
great to see a running Panther in both its 1/6th and
1/8th models.

1/6th Panther "F" Type
This is currently the only 1/6th "F" version RC Panther, in the world.
The "F" Panther was only ever a prototype, using a late G chassis, and Schmalturm Turret, same 75mm gun, no muzzle, stereoscopic rangefinder and the steel road wheels. The "F" version was designed to replace the "G". The only surviving Real "F" turret is at the Bovington Tank museum, but is in a sorry state, as it was used for target practice, before its historical value was realised.
