Panther mit 8,8 cm L/71
#60177

Description:
Development of a modification of the Panther started in the spring of 1944. The new modification was planned to incorporate a newly designed Schmalturm turret. The new vehicle was designated the Panther Ausf. F. On January 23, 1945, Corporal Holzhauer reported that the 88 mm gun of the King Tiger was being mounted on the upgraded version of the new turret. A large number of hulls for the vehicle were manufactured, but the turret never saw production and existed only as a wooden model.
