Dragon Armor is pleased to offer a fine 1/72 scale model of a Late-Production Jagdpanther. The vehicle is produced in stunning and full detail. The sleek profile is accurately represented and the model’s finished in a distinctive camouflage scheme. This consists of a sand-yellow basecoat with green bands. Although the unit operating this particular vehicle cannot be identified, it is known that it fought in the fierce fighting in Hungary as the war drew to a close in 1945. The fully built-up model also carries a suitable amount of weathering to give it just the right air of authenticity.
First built in Nazi Germany in 1944, the Jagdpanther was a 46-ton tank destroyer powered by a 12 cylinder gasoline engine and operated by a five-man crew. The driver had a periscope and vision slots and additional periscopes were mounted on the roof of the superstructure for the commander and loader. Its "no turret" design was built on the chassis of the Panther tank. It carried an 88mm gun and was protected by heavy sloped armor. The outcome of this design was a low-silhouette extremely high quality vehicle with tremendous firepower that many historians believe to be the best tank destroyer of the war. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
