The Voyager Model PE351141 photo-etched set has been designed specifically for the plastic model TAMIYA 35345, depicting the German Panther D tank from World War II in a unique version equipped with external gas tanks for city gas ("Stadtgas"). The model is rendered in the popular 1/35 scale, which allows for faithful reproduction of the details of the historical armored vehicle used by Germany from 1943 onwards.

This set is intended for modelers who wish to enhance the realism of their Panther model. The photo-etched parts are made from high-quality brass sheet with a high level of detail. The photo-etching process enables the production of extremely precise elements, such as fine protective grilles, brackets, handles, locks, and fittings for the city gas tanks – details that are virtually impossible to achieve with plastic or 3D printing in this scale.

Panther tanks fitted with additional "Stadtgas" tanks are examples from the final period of World War II (years 1944–1945), when, due to the fuel crisis, Germany adapted tanks to run on alternative energy sources. Such vehicles were observed, among others, during battles on the Eastern Front in the last months of the war.

Set contents:

• Photo-etched air intake and fan grilles
• Mounting components and brackets for external fuel tanks
• Precision surface details, such as covers and locks
• An assembly manual illustrating each stage of construction

This set fits exclusively to the TAMIYA 35345 model and allows for the highest level of vehicle finish. It is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers interested in recreating the realities of the final period of World War II. The difficulty level is rated at 4/5 – assembling the photo-etched parts requires precision, experience, and the proper tools.

I strongly recommend this set to modelers who are seeking historical accuracy and the highest level of realism, especially collectors and diorama builders presenting late World War II Eastern Front armored vehicles. Voyager Model guarantees top detail quality and enhances the value of every model.
