Jagdpanther G1 Update (36406 for Meng) 1:35 Eduard We're very lucky modellers to have a raft of new tool Panthers of various types from a number of manufacturers at the moment, and Meng's G1 Jagdpanther is one of my favourites. Put "Jagd" in front of any of the later German tanks and I'm all over it. Eduard's new Photo-Etch (PE) set, arrives in a flat resealable package, with a white backing card protecting the contents and the instructions that are sandwiched between. Arriving on a single fret, it's a pretty standard set for an AFV kit, comprising a new set of grilles for the rectangular and circular louvres on the engine deck, all with a realistic under/over texture etched into the "wire" areas. A full set of replacement pioneer tool shackles and attachment loops are provided too, with the moulded-in versions removed before fitting, a number of retaining pins with their own safety chains are fitted to the towing eyes, spare track racks, and side-mounted pioneer tool racks, and chains are added to the barrel cleaning container at both ends. Structurally, a pair of curved exhaust shrouds are added at the rear, which react well to dents and other damage much better than plastic, and a small vision block on the glacis is replaced with a more in-scale PE assembly, although how it folds up isn't documented all that well in the instructions, so don't cut off the kit one until you're sure you've got it right.
