Italeri 6564 - 1/35 Sd. Kfz.173 Jagdpanther With Winter Crew: Model and background brief

The Italeri 1/35 Jagdpanther captures the role of this potent World War II tank destroyer, built on the Panther medium tank frame and fielded from 1944. Its mix of a powerful main gun and sloped armor made it a feared opponent in armoured engagements.

Included are five posed crew figures, glue-on rubber track sections, and a set of super decals that let builders choose from three period-correct finishes. A colour instruction sheet helps identify paint schemes and decal placement for winter operations.

Why the Jagdpanther matters

The Jagdpanther combined firepower, protection and mobility in a compact design. This kit reproduces those engineering elements at scale, offering hobbyists an accurate platform for study and display.

Tips for putting it together

Expect a rewarding build: the rubber track assembly and decal application require steady hands. The figures are useful for adding life to a snowy vignette or battlefield diorama.
