1/72 Jagdpanzer L/48 Early Production

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

The Jagdpanzer borrowed the basic hull, suspension and drive train of the Panzer IV, from which it was derived. This low-slung tank hunter acquired a sloping superstructure with a 7.5cm PaK39 L/48 gun, replacing the turret of the standard Panzer IV. A 1/72 scale Jagdpanzer Late Version has previously appeared in Dragon Models' catalog, but the early L/48 model has major differences that make it unique. This kit sports a number of new parts especially for this early version including the upper and lower hull, and of course, the shorter gun. The L/48 vehicle was introduced into service from March 1944, but now Dragon Models has made it available again, ready for modelers at the beginning of 2006!
