Jentz  & Doyle's latest Panzer Tracks Jadgpanther says the box was a sPzAbt 654 unit modifcation , not the 1st time in the last 30 ( ? ) years they have corrected themselves . There seems to be new info coming out every year for German stuff  , every month it seems for Russian WW2 stuff  ::).  JP production : Dec 43 - 1 , Jan / Dec 44 - 226 , Jan / May 45 - 198 . Second driver's periscope plugged than removed from production in Feb 44 ( so how many built with 2 , and how many have plug visible before redesigned for one ? )Pistol ports removed as well ( don't think I've ever seen any JP with ports , early Panther D , yes ) The jack was moved from lower rear hull  ,like on Panther D to vertical between exhaust pipes  when tow lug was added mid lower rear . Sorry can't find any photos of 1st jack stowage on JPs

Been so busy with preparing the supporting material for our next batch of releases, almost everything is ready...

Had a quick snapshot of the Jagdpanther prototype while running through the studio today!  Will post the full batch of photos soon!



Enjoy!

Two variants of the Jagdpanther prototypes being shown here...
The final kit should enable you to build early / mid / late variants of your choice!





























Enjoy!

However, since when has that stopped me....

Any update on possible release date for the JP?
I see that Q4 has been announced, so maybe drop the JP into the Q1/18 release.
Cheers

It is still in the mould making queue.  Don't think it will make it to Q1/18 releases...  :(

OK, Thanks for the info.
I am sure Q4 and Q1 will have other tempting items.

I'm with Jaeger on this one. "I want a Jagdpanther now."
