WWII Jagdpanther Late Version in 1/48 from Tamiya

The Tamiya 1/48 Jagdpanther Late Version reproduces the German tank destroyer in a compact yet accurate form. It emphasises the long 88mm gun and characteristic sloped hull, making it a rewarding subject for collectors and modellers focused on late war armour.

Engineering Traits and Service Use

Fitted with an 88mm gun and protected by sloped armor, the Jagdpanther combined firepower and survivability. Its Maybach V12 engine helped sustain mobility at around 46 ton mass. With roughly 415 units built, the type is an important example of late war German armour design.

Detailed Parts and Building Experience

The kit features detailed weld seams, a textured gun mantlet and selectable exhaust arrangements. A crew compartment heating unit can be modelled, while a die cast lower hull offers solidity. The long barrel 88mm gun mounts on polycaps for directional movement, hatches are operable after build, and three decal sets provide authentic marking choices.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic with die-cast components
  • Gun Movement: Multi-directional via polycaps
  • Hatches: Functional after assembly
  • Markings: Choice of 3 sets
The kit offers fine surface detail including weld marks and mantlet texture, providing convincing realism for a compact 1/48 model.
Yes. Three different decal sets are supplied so you can finish the model to match several historical vehicles.
The die cast lower hull adds weight but will not hinder painting; mask and prime metal surfaces as you would with other metal components before applying final paint.
Use fine tweezers, a small file set and controlled glue application. Dry fitting before final bonding helps align parts like exhausts and small fittings cleanly.
