Jagdpanther early

Name Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther early production w. Zimmerit (No. 7241)

Producer Dragon, China

Packaging Hard cardboard box

Type of kit Plastic kit of WWII tank destoryer

Quality This kit has very nicely reproduced zimmerit. Only after closer examination is it's delicate irregular surface visible - just like on the real vehicle. However, there is also first minor flaw concerning the zimmerit - it is missing on doors on rear wall of superstructure, so you must make your own here. There is another thing missing on rear wall - antenna base. It is incorrectly molded on engine deck. In addition, engine deck is of later style. I don't know, how many "early" vehicles were made with this style of engine desk (if any), but I will not try to fix it. There are only vinyl tracks in this kit, although Dragon labeled it as "Armor Pro" series. Also two boxes on rear hull covered with zimmerit are made from vinyl. Kit contains small PE fret with engine mesh and metal towing cables.

Instruction sheet Photographic style typical for Dragon

Decals Set of crosses and two styles of numbers

General impression Quality of this kit is very good although it has some drawbacks
