Tamiya 32522 - 1/48 WWII German Jagdpanther Tank Destroyer Late Version Model Kit - authentic surface detail  [32522]

Detailed 1/48 Jagdpanther Late Version by Tamiya

The Tamiya 1/48 Jagdpanther Late Version model kit reproduces the late war German tank destroyer with compact precision. The kit highlights the vehicle's wedge profile and long barrel 88mm gun, creating a convincing miniature for display or diorama use.

Role on the Battlefield and Construction

The Jagdpanther combined a potent 88mm gun with sloped armor and a Maybach V12, delivering a mix of protection and mobility at an approximate 46 ton weight. Produced in limited numbers near 415 units, it stands out as a significant late WWII design.

What to Expect When Building

This model is notable for crisp weld mark reproduction and a detailed mantlet texture. Options include multiple exhaust layouts and an assembly for the crew heating unit. The die cast lower hull provides heft, the long 88mm gun mounts on polycaps for flexible angling, and hatches can be posed after construction. Three decal sets give historically accurate marking choices.
