Bunker Talk: Jagdpanther

Friday, October 16, 2020

Boley Jagdpanther in between houses.

After a heavy artillery barrage the city is in flames.

Fires rage out of control.

The heavy tank destroyer moves cautiously forward, knowing the enemy will soon launch a ground attack.

Limited traverse makes city fighting a poor choice for such a vehicle.

But a better choice for one with a turret.

Mike Bunkermeister Creek said...: Hi Banzai, I think the Boley Jagdpanther is the best military model that Boley ever did. Many of their models had minor or even major problems. This one is pretty good. My friend Randy owns Fidelis Models and has a large number in stock right now. I got this one from him. Check it out.

It's claimed to be 1/90th scale; close enough to HO to not matter, and it's in a really cool-looking deep dark green. Selling on EBY for $16.99, but I've seen it for sale on model sites for $11.99 (but "not in stock"!!); October 18, 2020 at 5:21 PM
