Panzer Art GB35-058 Jagdpanther Initial Mantlet with PaK43/1 Gun 1/35

Panzer Art GB35-058 is a professional accessory set designed for the 1/35 scale Jagdpanther model. This product is dedicated especially to advanced modelers seeking to replicate the authenticity of details of the German tank destroyer from World War II. The set includes a faithfully reproduced early mantlet (gun shield) and a precisely machined metal 88mm PaK43/1 gun barrel – one of the most famous anti-tank barrels used by the Third Reich.

History and Application

The Jagdpanther was among the most effective German tank destroyers of World War II. Built on the chassis of the Panther tank, it was introduced into service in 1944 and remained in use until the end of the war. The “Initial” (early) version was distinguished by, among other features, its characteristic gun mantlet shape and armor protection details, both replicated by the mantlet in this set. It was renowned for its exceptionally effective PaK43/1 gun, which allowed it to destroy Allied tanks even at long ranges. Jagdpanthers were used extensively on both the Eastern and Western fronts, including during the Ardennes Offensive.
