The 1:72 Jagdpanther Sd.Kfz.173 plastic kit from Revell captures the German tank destroyer built on the chassis of the Panther tank. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted.
Responsibility details are not available.
Injection-molded plastic kit of the German tank destroyer in the small 1:72 scale. Thanks to the scale the finished model asks little of your shelf space, so it displays well in a collection of armor and sits just as well in a smaller diorama. The number of parts, the contents of the decal sheet and the color schemes offered are stated on the box.
The Jagdpanther, Sd.Kfz.173 in German nomenclature, was a tank destroyer deployed in the closing stage of the Second World War. In design it drew on the chassis and powertrain of the Panther medium tank, on which it carried a fixed casemate with a built-in 88 mm anti-tank gun. Doing without a rotating turret meant a lower silhouette and simpler production, but also a limited horizontal traverse of the barrel: a larger change in the direction of fire meant turning the whole vehicle. Steeply sloped frontal plates raised the resistance of the armor, yet the resulting weight put a strain on the running gear and the transmission.
Start with the running gear. It makes sense to paint the wheels, the rollers and the tracks before the hull is closed, because later neither a brush nor the stream from an airbrush will reach between them. Use thin cement on the plastic; it wicks into the joint by capillary action and leaves no overflow. Lay down a primer before painting, as it unifies the surface and reliably reveals any joint you have not sanded enough. Multicolor masking is best done at this scale with an airbrush at low pressure and with a soft transition, while a brush will handle the small patches. Build the weathering in layers: a dark wash in the engraved lines and around the rivets, drybrushing on the edges, pigments for dust and mud deposits in the wheel wells and on the tracks.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
