Pre-Order

The Italeri Sd Kfz 173 Jagdpanther Winter Crew (HC-6564) focuses on the formidable German Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther, a heavy tank destroyer introduced in the first months of 1944. Built on the proven Panther medium tank chassis, it mounted the long‑barrelled 8.8 cm Pak 43/3 in a fixed casemate, combining exceptional firepower with strong armour protection.

Despite its limited production, the Jagdpanther saw service in multiple theatres, including Normandy, the Ardennes and the Eastern Front. Its angled frontal armour improved resistance to direct enemy hits. The five‑man crew operated from a fighting compartment that accommodated up to 57 rounds for the main gun, contributing to the vehicle’s battlefield effectiveness.

In first months of 1944, started the production of the heavy tank destroyer Sd.Kfz.173 "Jagdpanther". It was built on the excellent chassis of the Panther medium tank on which was installed, in a fixed casemate, the lethal anti-tank long-barrelled gun 8.8 cm Pak 43/3 able to penetrate the armour of every type of Allied and Soviet tank and armoured vehicle.  

The Jagdpanther offered a good level of protection thanks to the angled frontal armour to better resist to the direct enemy hits. Despite the few numbers of units produced, it was used in Normandy, in the Ardennes and in the Eastern Front until the end of the war.

The crew was formed by five men and, inside the combat room of the casemate, there was enough space to load 57 rounds for the 8.8 cm cannon. Due to its operational features it was extremely effective and was much feared by the enemy tank crews.
