Wow Turbobearcat! Love your Jagdpanther! Please tell us more!


The Jagdpanther I found in a hobbyshop in Kettering Ohio..on sale for $34.99

They do make these a motorized kit from Academdy but mine was not the motorized kit, so I called up the company and ordered two gearboxes.

Outside of this it's a complete kit with darn good looks!

1/25th sale which I failed to say..

some of those kits are motorized while others are not... mine has the setup for it...the drive gears are there but no gearbox w/2-motors

I'm waiting for those to be shipped to me.

Tiger has an extenstion to the barrel, Tamiya tracks and painted with the 2nd SS 'Das Reich' markings from November 42 { going to upgrade the gears and tracks to metal in the near future, then sound after those } The other two are painted an weathered to suit.

Status: offline 		I just ordered this tank from Mato Toys. Metal tracks and gearbox, etc. It's their limited edition with weathered paint, etc. $167.00 US. I'm not sure when it will ship.

My uncle landed in Normandy on D-day. His landing was by accident. He was operating a transport boat/landing craft and his boat was hit by what he thinks was an 88. He was able to get out of the boat and swim to shore. He had no weapon or other equipment. Because he had the experience they aassigned him to a Sherman tank crew. His tanks were hit a number of times and he kept acquiring new crew members as they were killed. In his words he detailed how his crews were able to take out Tigers. He said the Sherman needed to be within 100 yards of the Tiger and that the only place that would effect the Tiger was in the rear of the tank. He went on to say that if the tiger saw them first, they didn't have a chance and had to get the hell away from it. The Tiger he said could take out a Sherman at 200 yards or more.
