Jagdpanther

(1/3) > >>

ultravanillasmurf:
I am (slowly) putting the Panther Ausf G together (now ready for priming) and while looking at the chassis I wondered about a J sprue for the Jagdpanther?

Could you get the rest of the kit on a single sprue?

I am assuming the chassis is the same.

Rubicon Models:
We do have the same idea, but there are just too many projects outstanding... probably some time next year!
;)

Hi Guys

Could you consider also doing the Early Version Jagdpanther with the "Small Collar" with a "single piece 88mm gun barrel?"

Everyone does the late, Large Bolt On Collar and two piece 88mm... The only problem is some of the early Jagdpanther's had a
duel drivers vision block. This could be handled like you guys did with the Panther Ausf A & D Hull Ball Mount / Pistol Port!

I hope I did this right... Here is a Link to the Imperial War Museum's Early Jagdpanther!

ripley:
. Some photos show the early version with one vision port blanked out and welded over  . I wonder how many were built like that until the casting for the glacis plate was changed ? Always more questions than answers when researching German Panzers  ::)

True... I didn't even realize that I posted the picture of the single Driver's vision block until you posted.

Rubicon could do like they did with the Hetzer... Provide a Small & Large Gun Collar, a single & 2 piece 88mm gun barrel,
and all 3 of the the Panther's Exhaust systems! That would cover most of the examples of the Jagdpanther. Hell, the only version Rubicon missed was the Swiss G13 Hetzer with the muzzle brake!

I already bought the Jagdpanther with the Large Gun Collar from Trenchworx, LLC, trying to fill gaps of missing vehicles. BUT I have always wanted the Jagdpanther with the small collar! AND YES! I'll buy at least 2 kits!  :o

Small collar with single & 2 piece 88mm; Single & double Driver's vision block  with a mix of gun barrels with the Small Collar. The possibilities are endless!

I still like Peter Chamberlain's  "Encyclopedia of German Tanks of World War Two." I'm on my 2d copy! An OLD but Great Reference!
