1/72 Jagdpanzer L/48 Early Production

The Jagdpanzer borrowed the basic hull, suspension and drive train of the Panzer IV, from which it was derived. This low-slung tank hunter acquired a sloping superstructure with a 7.5cm PaK39 L/48 gun, replacing the turret of the standard Panzer IV. A 1/72 scale Jagdpanzer Late Version has previously appeared in Dragon Models’ catalog, but the early L/48 model has major differences that make it unique. This kit sports a number of new parts especially for this early version including the upper and lower hull, and of course, the shorter gun. The L/48 vehicle was introduced into service from March 1944, but now Dragon Models has made it available again, ready for modelers at the beginning of 2006!
