Why this kit matters
The Jagdpanther was a German tank destroyer armed with a powerful 8.8 cm Pak 43 gun. The early versions featured Zimmerit anti-magnetic mine coating. It was a formidable vehicle on the battlefield, combining firepower, mobility and decent armour protection. Its sleek design and powerful gun made it a feared opponent.
This model kit allows you to recreate a significant German tank destroyer in a smaller scale. The Jagdpanther's design and capabilities reflect Germany's focus on powerful anti-tank weaponry. Building this kit provides insight into the technological and tactical aspects of armoured warfare during the war.
