WWII German Jagdpanther (G1 / G2) Tank Destroyer.The SdKfz 173 Jagdpanther "hunting panther" was a tank destroyer built by the German army during World War 2 based on the chassis of the Panther tank. It entered service in 1944 during the later stages of the war on the Eastern and Western Fronts. The Jagdpanther combined the 8.8 cm PaK 43 cannon, similar to the main gun of the Tiger II, and the armour and suspension of the Panther chassis. The Jagdpanther had a good power-to-weight ratio and a powerful main gun, which enabled it to destroy any type of Allied tank. Based on the existing Panther Ausf G chassis, the vehicle did not suffer too many mechanical problems. It was manned by a crew of five: a driver, radio-operator, commander, gunner and a loader.Product Highlights:Option to build either Ausf G1 or G2Multiple rear exhaust choicesTwo gun barrel choicesThree mantlet choicesOpen or closed turret & hull hatchesTank crew figure includedPlastic kit requiring assembly and paintingNo paint or glue includedDecals includedAbout Rubicon Plastic Kits: Rubicon's military models and figures are a firm favourite with modellers and wargamers alike thanks to their highly detailed appearance and easy assembly.
