Remarks:

Click on the thumbnail to open a new windowOn the first Jagdpanthers the tool racks on the left side were mounted a bit tilted to give enough room for the shovel. Click on the thumbnail to open a new windowThe kit's intended position for the gun cleaning rod bin was too low so I altered the position. The missing Zimmerit was then re-applied with wax.
Click on the thumbnail to open a new windowInitially the Jagdpanthers were equipped with rear stowage bins from the Panther Ausf. A so I corrected this. Click on the thumbnail to open a new windowI also detailed the lower mountings for the rear stowage bins.
