jagd panther and PZ IV kits

The DML Jagdpanzer IV is going to be re-issued soon.. I have it on pre-order..

great looking builds! Thanks for all the info.

Wow Nord, those are some very nice builds.

I have built both Jagdpanzer IV and the Jagdpanther from Tamayia and they are great!

DML also sells thier indi sets alone... They are about 8 or 12 bucks something like that...

Both Academy and Tamiya make generic Pz IV indy track sets. I've never used either but have contemplated them for various projects at one time or another. Price is reasonable from what I can tell.

Yah the rubberband tracks are lacking and look rather phoony. They do save a great deal of assembly time though. I think Tamiya or Academy makes some Panzer IV indy tracks.

Eric is right the Tamiya Jagdpanther is a breeze to put together but the tracks are somewhat lacking in function. One could always scrounge a set of DML tracks to put on it though. Which is what I will end up doing on mine most likely.....whenever I can finnish it.....

As far as jadgpanzers... go for the DML kits all the way. What they may lack in one area they make up for in others like the indi links... Tamiyas and Italeri's old jagdpanzers are crap i wouldn't even look at them twice when given a choice for DML...

Good luck and keep us posted

The PE on the Tamiya Panzer IV is made by Eduard and I don't care for it. It's too uniform and lackless of detail. The kit is overpriced also.

The Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV, I believe is out of production. It came with a long barrel. I built an Nichimo one many a moon ago. I would lean to the Dragon version if you can find it, better value for the buck. You get PE, barrel and indy tracks as a bonus.

Sorry, did you mean Jagdpanther? I hear Tamiya's is a dream to put together, but has no indy tracks. Like you said the Dragon early Jagdpanther comes with the before mentioned extras. I'd say tough call.
