Dragon new 2-in-1 kit offers both a complete Panther Ausf.D tank and a Pantherturm.
The Ausf.D was the original Panther variant, with some 850 tanks produced from January 1943 onwards. Turning to the Pantherturm, it was essentially a Panther turret installed on a concrete bunker dug into the ground to create a static defensive emplacement, used particularly in places like Italy and on the Eastern Front.

Actually it's not only a 2 in 1 Kit. As the first production bonus, a second Panther D turret is provided. Modelers can create a complete Panther Ausf.D tank and also a complete new Pantherturm base too. So consequently, modelers can build up two items. Set in a diorama, for example, this Pantherturm would make a fascinating and novel subject.

Hopefully Dragon will offer the Pantherturn as a separate kit as I'm kind of knee-deep in Ausf "D" Panthers. And "A". And "G" etc. and I've never really wanted to take a turret from another kit just for a Pantherturm so that possibility would be great.

Ah, but would they sell it at their new $74.99 MSRP?
