Jagdpanzer IV/70 (A) Sd.Kfz.162 "Zwischenloesung"

Scale: 1/76

Manufacturer : Matchbox (discontinued)


This is a kit that as soon I knew the model I wanted to represent it. I had one Matchbox Jagdpanzer and converted using scaled down plans from "Armor Conversion and Detailing projects", Kalmback Books.
This is a variant produced as an "interim solution" while the new Jagdpanzers, better say, "Guderian Ducks", with their lower profile were not available yet. These plans helped me to make the needed parts in scratch. The anti tank mesh ("Thoma Shield") is also in scratch. Some oregano was used for camo (no, I didn't bake or eat it! :-)) and the paints are from Tamiya The dots of the "Ambush" scheme were hand painted, and the pastels are from Faber Castell. The figure is from an ESCI Sd.Kfz. 250.
