It seems the more we think we know the more we do not.
I have never seen this before but it sure looks cool and it would be easy to make !!
But it would have to have the cannon barrel on it to look cooler.
Maybe they had a fake barrel and it fell off. That is my story and I am sticking it to it .

This is interesting. Repost that B&W pic in larger format please. Looks like the Panther got cannibalized for its armament and someone decided to use the chassis as a snowplow.

Achtung! Spitfire!

Is it post war ? I read he post it seems to be wartime clean up and possibly the barrol was removed because it could have been damaged by/during clean up.
Still my will/ could be with the build.

I could easily see post-war putting what tanks were still running into use as big tractors and plows to help with dozing the streets clear of rubble...

It's called the Ramschaufelpanzer Panther and was used to clean up post war Germany.

It turns the Panther in to a cool looking bulldozer. The good thing about this is that some of the 21st century toys Panther has a removable barrel.
Also another good is that is detachable,so the tank can still be display either way.
Painting it should be easy too.I might be interested on one for my winter Panther depending on the price.

Pickel
The German part of the text says that the Panther was converted after Hitler in May 1944 ordered tanks to clean the streets after air raids.

Killing time before I shove off this morning and I saw this in my Pickelhaube Stuff .
Man this would be such an easy mod.
I would make it for myself if I only had the time.
Man, doing full kits ( K2 ) sure takes a lot of time.
