Takom 1/35 German WWII Jagdpanther G1 Early SdKfz 173 with Zimmerit Limited Edition # 02125W

The German WWII Jagdpanther G1 Early (SdKfz 173) was a formidable tank destroyer that emerged in response to the need for heavier firepower against Allied armored vehicles.

This vehicle combined the powerful 8.8 cm Pak 43 cannon, known for its accuracy and armor-penetrating capability, with the chassis of the Panther tank, providing mobility and agility on the battlefield.

The G1 Early variant featured distinctive characteristics such as the absence of a ball-mounted machine gun on the glacis plate and the use of Zimmerit anti-magnetic mine coating on the armor.

With its sloped frontal armor and potent main gun, the Jagdpanther G1 Early proved to be a fearsome adversary for Allied tanks, earning a reputation as one of the most effective tank destroyers of World War II.
