Jagdpanther Sen version - Tamiya 35203

En mock-up av varumärket Tamiya le kit: «Jagdpanther sen version - Tamiya 35203 ».

Den tyska Jagdpanther betraktas av ammunitionsexperterna som ett av de bäst spårade vapensystemen under andra världskriget 2. Den fantastiska Pak43/3, L71 88mm pistolen monterades på det beprövade Panther medium tankchassit. Pistolen installerades i den lådformade överbyggnaden som använde tjockt stålpansar på 80 mm fram och 50 mm på sidorna. Dessa front- och sidopansarplattor var effektivt benägna att få ett förbättrat skydd. Pistolmanteln som kallades "Saukopf" (såhuvud) hade en tjocklek på 100 mm.

A ball mounted MG42 bow machine gun was installed at the right side of the main gun. Weighing in at 46 tons and propelled by the powerful Maybach V12 cylinder engine, this tank destroyer had a well-balanced fire power, protection and mobility to high standards. Mass production started in January 1944 at MIAG firm, and during its production career, several improvements and alterations were made with feedback from the front lines. Early production models used a nearly flush gun mantlet collar, but it was replaced with a larger, bolt-fixed collar in October 1944. Larger diameter idler wheels were introduced at the same time. A heater for the crew compartment, and the same exhaust covers as equipped on the late production Panther G tanks were added, beginning from December. The Jagdpanther was first deployed to the Normandy campaign in June 1944, and 415 units were produced until April 1945.
