RE: upgrades for jagdpanther
Yep,
Metal upgrades I am aware of include:
Muzzle brake (have to use the one for the KT as the gun is the same (88mm vs. Panthers 75mm and just a bit shorter))
Tow shackles (JP tow shackles are just like Panthers, with the eared bolts).
Tracks
Drive sprockets
Hull Brace
Transmission brace kit
Tow cables
C-Hooks
Spare track holders
Tow cable attachments
Jack
Fire Extinguisher
Road Wheels (pricey, but available)
Idler wheels
Tools (Axes, wire cutters, etc.)
Various photo etched parts (teeny tiny stuff...)
Hex head bolts (for hull bottom)
Antenna
Road wheel bearings
Rear idler kit (spring loaded)
Other non-metal upgrades include:
Antenna base
Drive shaft support bearing
I recommend the use of paperclips and pliers to make your hatch handles. Most of the upgrades are borrowed from the Wecohe Panther, so be sure to check for them where the Wecohe Panther kit is sold. I'm sure that I'm forgetting something, but I'm sure someone else can help out. FYI, I've purposely left out the suppliers for these parts so as not to violate RCU rules (in case they are not advertisers on RCU).

You can also get Wecohe metal road wheels and idlers. They are a bit pricey but well worth it in my opinion.
Also, there is a multitude of hatches and metal upgrades for the Panther / Jadgpanther. They really look great when installed.
I have close to $2000 in upgrades already into my Panther.

Is your Panther a Tamiya or a Heng Long?
