5022 - Ryefield Models

The origins of the Jagdpanther date back to 1939 with the proposal for a Sturmgeschuetz mit 8.8cm main gun. By August 1942, Wa Pruef 6 told Krupp to use the chassis of the Panther as the basis for the vehicle. By May 1943 design and assembly responsibility had been passed to Miag. Miag delivered the first test vehicle (V1) in October 1943. With the second (V2) in November 1943. Due to delays, the first five production units were not accepted until January 1944. Due to repeated bombing damage to the Miag facility causing production delays, in late 1944, MNH and MBA were contracted to assemble vehicles. Around 413 (G1 & G2) were delivered before the factories were captured by the Allies.

The G2 version used the Panther Ausf. G chassis instead of the Ausf. A chassis. The major changes with this type over the G1 includes a longer engine deck with a shorter superstructure with steeper sloped sides. Most tooling relocated to the rear deck and rear superstructure plate. The crew compartment heater was installed along with the Flammvernichter mufflers.

The Ausf. G2 was produced from February to April 1945. An estimated 111 G2’s were produced.

All G2’s were outfitted with the sectional 8.8cm Pak 43 L/71 main gun with the light weight muzzle brake along with one MG34.
