Historical Information

The Jagdpanther (Sd.Kfz. 173) was one of the most effective German tank destroyers of World War II (1944–1945). Its design was based on the Panther tank chassis and was armed with the 8.8 cm Pak 43/3 L/71 gun, which in the Jagdpanther version was designated KwK43/3. The Jagdpanther saw action on the Eastern Front as well as during the battles in Normandy, the Ardennes, and on German soil. Early versions were distinguished by a characteristic mantlet shape, faithfully reproduced in this Panzer Art set.
