Schürzen appeared on German armored vehicles from 1943 as a response to increasingly effective Allied anti-tank measures. The version of the skirts mounted on late vehicle variants, such as the Panther Ausf.G and Jagdpanther, was characterized by thin plates installed on the sides of the hull. Examples of the combat use of these skirts include battles on the Eastern Front, fighting at Bautzen, and defensive operations during the Ardennes offensive.

The Aber 35A028 set stands out for its excellent workmanship— the photo-etched plates feature realistic reinforcements, holes and mounting locks that are impossible to replicate with traditional plastic kits. As a result, the finished model will acquire a professional touch appreciated by both beginners and experienced modelers. The included clear instructions enable precise assembly even for less advanced hobbyists.

• Assembly difficulty: 3/5 (basic experience with photo-etched parts recommended)
• Recommendation: We recommend this product to all modelers seeking authentic replica appearance and wishing to give their Panther or Jagdpanther a unique wartime character

Aber 35A028 is an indispensable addition for every enthusiast of historical armored scale models from World War II who values detail and high-quality accessories.
