During the WWII, there were some negotiations for a licensed manufacture (and later, for a supply) of the Pz V Panther to the Regio Esercito (italian for "Royal Army").

Unfortunately (or luckily, depending on your point of view), the italian armistice (and the obstructionism of italian companies) blocked all attempts in that direction.

This skin try to give a possible view of an hypothetical italian Panther, in one of it's first combat mission.
