Product Description

The Zimmerit coating body is recreated with luxurious equipment such as an aluminum gun barrel.
This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of the Jagdpanther G1 early production tank destroyer, a German tank destroyer that was active in World War II, with a Zimmerit-coated body.

[About the actual car]
During World War II, the German army developed tank destroyers and assault guns equipped with fixed fighting compartments on tank chassis and more powerful guns.
The tank destroyer, called the Jagdpanther, was built on the chassis of the Panther tank, which is considered a masterpiece, and was equipped with a powerful 71-caliber 8.8cm anti-tank gun, the PaK43/3.
Mass production began in April 1944, with the initial vehicles being based on the Panther Ausf. A, which was later changed to a vehicle based on the Ausf. G.
The early production model based on the A-type is called G1, and the type based on the G-type is called G2.
With its simple design that was excellent at reducing damage caused by bullets, it fought bravely from 1944 until the end of the war.
In the latter stages of the war, not only the Jagdpanther but also other vehicles appeared that had Zimmerit coating, a non-magnetic coating on the body to protect against magnetically attracted mines.
Some Jagdpanthers were also seen being coated at the factory before being shipped.
