1/35 WSS – Panther Commander ‘’Smoking’’

Historical Context & Theme

The Waffen-SS Panther Commander represents one of the most recognizable figures of late World War II armored warfare. Stationed in the turret of a Panther tank, the commander was the eyes and mind of the armored unit, directing movements and coordinating firepower. Captured here in a relaxed moment with a cigarette, the figure humanizes the otherwise imposing role of tank crews during the final years of the war.

Figure Details & Realism

This 1/35 scale resin figure is finely sculpted to portray a Panther commander in realistic WWII uniform. The figure includes two interchangeable head options, offering variation between different facial expressions and headgear. The sculpt features crisp details on the uniform, insignia, folds in the clothing, and the natural stance of a commander taking a momentary break while smoking.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfect for dioramas featuring Panther tanks or late-war German armor, this figure can be positioned in or around tank hatches, standing beside vehicles, or used as a standalone display piece. His relaxed smoking pose contrasts nicely with combat-ready figures, adding realism and narrative to a scene.

Material & Customization

Cast in high-quality resin, the figure ensures sharp details with minimal cleanup. The two head options give modelers flexibility in presentation. Painters can enhance the uniform with weathering effects, insignia details, and subtle shading to highlight the figure’s realism.

Who It’s For

This figure is designed for intermediate to advanced modelers interested in WWII German armored forces. Ideal for collectors, diorama builders, and historical enthusiasts looking to add depth and authenticity to their displays.
