Production of the Jagdpanther is pretty much complete with all of our machines now on Sd KFZ production.
From a production perspective, we just need to make the barrel components and bend a whole bunch of lasercut parts which should take 2-3 weeks.

However, unfortunately due to delays with a couple of suppliers we have a long wait for the tracks and the mantlet castings - we expect to receive these around mid august - so shipping of the kits is expected at the end of August.

A quick update as we recover from our time off - we will post some photographs later on today.

Lasercut parts are almost all complete - a few brackets and the mudguards remain.
Muzzle brake should be completed by the end of this week.
Etched parts, tracks, tyres and castings are on track to arrive next week.

We are currently validating the fasteners needed on the model which should take us another week - after that we can order the fasteners in and update the instruction manual.

Then we will start wrapping and packing all the parts.

Currently we still expect to start shipping at the end of the month.

I hope this post does not do anything wrong, in that case it is not my intention.
Just want to show a little picture of a happy old boy waiting for something wonderful, later at the end of the month.
