Jagdpanther Parts from 6th Scale Icons Inc
Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2007 11:28 pm
With pending release of the Armortek Jagdpanther I thought I would re-post the information on the Panther accessories I offer that are compatible to the Jagdpanther. All the parts listed will fit directly to a Jagdpanther without any modifications to the parts.
I am listing these well in advance of the model release as most parts take time to prepare for delivery and I want to give you all the chance to order them in advance so that it will be ready for delivery when you receive your Jagdpanther model.
Each order will require a 25% deposit to secure your order for production, estimated delivery about four months.
Jagdpanthers were fairly standard over there production time, the only major visual changes was the introduction of the composite barrel in May 1944, the heater system on the left rear exhaust fan and the change of design of the rear engine intake grills in December 1944. It appears from the line drawings shown on the site, Armortek are producing a late type with the composite barrel and the heater system. I am offering special sets, Pan01 to 08, of tools and accessories compatible to the Jagdpanther. Plus I have also listed other parts I offer that can be used on the Jagdpanther.
There are three basic tools and accessories as listed below, sets 1 and 2 can be ordered now with a deposit. I am asking for a deposit in advance of production of these sets as each requires a fair amount of photo-etched parts of which I have to order in advance, your advance orders will help me determined how many photo-etched sets to order.
1. Jagdpanther February to March 1944 had long tow ropes. See line drawings below. This set with long tow ropes is said to have been used until March 1944, which is before the introduction of the composite barrel, however I have seen pictures of this set fitted to a Jagdpanther with the composite barrel. This may have been an early model that was retro fitted the new barrel.
2. Jagdpanther April to November 1944 had short tow ropes. See line drawings below. This set with shorter tow ropes was the most common used and was likely still used on Jagdpanthers that were fitted with the heater unit from December 1944 onwards.
3. Jagdpanther December 1944 to April 1945 had a completely different set up for tool racks and tow ropes. See line drawings below. This set was used on new production Jagdpanthers from December 1944 onwards. If there is a demand for this set I have to make some new photo-etched parts and I will require at least six sets to be pre-ordered. This new set will comprise of the following with all correct fittings and clamps. Axe, Hammer, Shovel, Wire Cutters, Track Tension Bar, Start Crank, Jack Block, Fire Ext, Two Tow Ropes, Two C Shackles, Two Spare Track Link Holders, Track Replacement Tow Rope and the Cleaning Rod Canister with Long Pry Bar.
I have been unable to find the location for the short pry bar on the Jagdpanther or the correct position and type of carrier for the track replacement tow cable and help on this would be appreciated. I have seen one picture of the track tow cable wrapped around the right exhaust fan housing with simple brackets to the fan housing securing bolts, this was on a restored Jagdpanther and do not know if this is correct.
The estimated price of this set is $610.00, this may change slightly depending on the inclusion of the short pry bar and the type of mounting required for the track tow rope. A deposit for this set will only be required once I have enough pre-orders and a confirmed price for it to go ahead.
Here are two pictures showing the early tool set with long tow ropes fitted to a Jagdpanther with a composite barrel.
