The 1/16 scale rc tank - Panther is a top of the range rc tank from Taigen. It's
a fully functional model with many upgrades over standard 1/16th tanks.
Most noticeable is the fantastic hand painted body that makes every
tank original. This is also the metal upgrade version that comes with
metal parts, tracks, drive wheels and gearbox which not only add to the
realism but also also makes it more reliable. The Panther has a
realistic smoke generator and sound simulator as well as the working
airsoft bb gun.
The Taigen Panther is almost 2 feet in length. The tank is fully
functional with multi-directional driving, 360 degrees turret swivel and
rising and lowering barrel. The gun has an amazing range of almost 50
feet and a capacity of 40 pellets. It powers out plastic 6mm BB's and
has a powerful red warning light, next to the barrel, that illuminates
before firing. The paint effects are carefully done by hand to give the
appearance of age and of seeing battle which is finished off perfectly
with the included tank commander who is fully painted and in uniform.
This really is a high quality and superb looking model that when not
being used makes an excellent display model.
Have a full-on battle with up to 2 of your friends and see who will
become the air-soft battle tank champion. Each Taigen tank can be
switched between 3 different channels so the controls do not interfere
with each other.
History:
The Panther was a tank fielded by Germany in World War II
that served from mid-1943 to the end of the European war in 1945. It was
intended as a counter to the T-34, and to replace the Panzer IV and
III, though it served along with them and the heavy tanks until the end
of the war. The Panther's excellent combination of firepower, mobility,
and protection served as a benchmark for other nations' late war and
immediate post-war tank designs and it is frequently regarded (along
with the Soviet T-34-85) as the best tank design of World War II.
