Milicast BG232 1/76 Resin WWII German Panther Ersatz M10
During the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans disguised six Panthers to resemble M10 tank destroyers and designated as Ersatz M10.
Commanded by Otto Skorzeny, Panzerbrigade.150 Rabenhugel had two companies of the heavily modified vehicles which included the removal of the Panther cupola and the stowage boxes on the rear hull. Sheet metal on the hull front, turret and turret overhang was fabricated to disguise the form of the Panther. This was completed with an olive drab paint scheme and Allied stars painted on the turret and glacis. Planned to be used in the attempt to seize vital bridges ahead of the advance of the 6th. Panzerarmee Operation Greif, these extensively modified and painted Panthers were intended to lead their columns in the hope that American soldiers would not immediately recognize them as Panthers in the winter weather until it was too late.
In the event,they were not used as intended but instead in a conventional attack towards Malmedy on 22 December 1944 where all were lost in combat.
These models are imported from Milicast in the

Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not
included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's
responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs
office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or
buying.
Please note: I have no love of
import/export taxes or customs duties. That said, I pay mine and if your
country has them it is your responsibility to pay yours. Many sellers raise
their shipping or merchandise prices to offset the added expense caused by
customs returns when customers fail to pay or pick up their items from customs.
I refuse to penalize good customers for this-I simply block bad ones from
purchasing my goods in the future.
I combine shipping whenever possible to the same
address/eBay account unless otherwise requested.
Slower
method, but you see shipping
cost prior to paying: Order all of your items, DO NOT PAY, get combined
invoice from me, pay, then I ship.
Fastest
method-order all of your items, pay, I adjust your invoice for any overpayment
and ship immediately.
As a general rule (90+%
of the time) more items = significantly lower shipping costs per item.
