Tamiya 36210 Jagdpanther Late Version Display Model

Tamiya 36210 Jagdpanther Late Version Display Model
In Summer 1942, the order was given for a heavy tank destroyer based upon the Panther chassis to be developed. The vehicle it spawned was the Jagdpanther, regarded by many as one of the best tracked weapons systems of WWII. With a powerful L/71 8.8cm gun, boxy superstructure protected by sloped armor (front: 80mm thick, sides: 50mm thick), and 700hp Maybach HL230P30 engine that provided speeds up to 55km/h, it had an excellent balance of power, survivability, and mobility. Assigned to units from June 1944, it first saw action with the 654th Heavy Anti-Tank Battalion in Normandy, and also went on to serve in the Ardennes Offensive as well as on the Eastern Front.
