The instructions for the Jagdpanther are printed on the back of the box. The instructions aren’t too bad, but they are vague when it comes to the placement of the tool containers. There are 13 parts in the Jagdpanther kit. These parts are the barrel, the gun mantlet, upper hull and lower hull, two track and wheel assemblies, two mufflers, three tool canisters, and two track covers. For the first step, I attached the barrel to the gun mantlet. Then I attached the gun mantlet and barrel assembly to the upper hull. The two track and wheel assemblies get attached to the left and right sides of the lower hull. The two mufflers are put on rear of the lower hull assembly. The rounder of the three tool canisters gets connected to the upper hull on the left side. The other two tool canisters get connected to either side of the mufflers. On the upper hull the two track covers are connected low on the left and right sides. Overall, the model is very simple to build and the fit is pretty good. I had no problems building the kit. After completing the building process, I painted the Jagdpanther German Sand Yellow using Tamiya spray paint. The tracks and mufflers were painted rust. Once the base coat was dry, I used a brown wash on the forward part of the tank and a black wash around the mufflers and filters. I dry brushed the track and wheel assemblies with brown paint to simulate mud. The rest of the Jagdpanther was dry brushed with Radome tan to bring out the details. The HAT Industries’ Jagdpanther does not come with any decals so you will have to get some from your spare box. This model is very good for Junior modelers or war gamers and would be very good for Junior Make and take. Thanks to HaT Industries for the review sample. |
