Historical background: The Sd.Kfz. 173 Jagdpanther was one of the most effective German tank destroyers of World War II, based on the chassis of the Panther tank and armed with the excellent 8.8 cm Pak 43 gun. These vehicles took part in fighting on both the Western and Eastern Fronts from mid-1944 until the surrender of Germany. They were used, among others, in the Battle of the Bulge and the fights at Kursk. Early production versions were distinguished by characteristic design details, and the application of zimmerit aimed to reduce the effectiveness of magnetic mines used by enemy engineers.
