Hauler 1:48 Befehlswagen Jagdpanther is a resin accessory set for converting the Jagdpanther tank destroyer to the command version. It is not a model in its own right but an accessory for a finished kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This set from the Czech maker Hauler is meant for modelers who want to build the command version from a kit of the Jagdpanther tank destroyer in 1:48 scale. It holds resin parts that mount on an already built kit - the model itself is not in the package and without a base kit you cannot use the set. The manufacturer does not state the exact mix of parts in the name, so check the contents of the package before you build.
The Jagdpanther was a German tank destroyer of the Second World War, built on the chassis of the Panther tank. It carried an 8.8 cm gun in a fixed superstructure without a rotating turret, which gave it a low silhouette and heavily sloped frontal armor. Command machines designated Befehlswagen differed from ordinary vehicles mainly in their extended radio equipment and the antennas that went with it; the added gear took up part of the interior at the cost of the ammunition carried. Outwardly the differences are small, but on a model they show up well.
Wash the resin parts first in warm water with detergent - mold release agent is left on them from production, and neither paint nor glue holds on it. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine saw, not with nippers: resin is hard and brittle and cracks easily. Dress the surfaces with a file, sand wet or with extraction and protect your breathing. It is bonded with super glue, preferably the thicker gel, which gives you a few seconds to set the part in place. Apply primer before painting, or the paint will rub off the smooth resin easily.
This is an accessory set, not a model in its own right. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
