This COBI set features the vehicle in a three-tone camouflage scheme, bearing tactical number 121. It includes a characteristic fixed superstructure, working tracks and removable sections that allow a view of the interior. A vehicle commander figure completes the model, offering various display options.

History of the Jagdpanther tank destroyer
Panther chassis, but new tasks!
The Jagdpanther, designated Sd.Kfz. 173, was built on the chassis of the Panther tank. Instead of a rotating turret, it featured a fixed, armored superstructure. This design allowed for the mounting of a long-barreled 88 mm anti-tank gun while retaining sloped frontal armor.
The vehicle entered service in 1944. It combined powerful armament with the mobility inherited from the Panther, but the fixed gun mounting had a practical limitation: to aim outside the gun's limited traverse range the crew had to rotate the entire vehicle.
Distinctive silhouette
The long barrel, sloped armor plates, and low superstructure profile make the Jagdpanther easy to distinguish from the Panther tank, despite their shared chassis. It was used to engage armored vehicles, particularly from prepared positions where it could exploit the gun's range and the cover provided by the terrain.

Details of the COBI Jagdpanther brick model
Three-color camouflage and number 121
The model catches the eye with its combination of green, sandy beige and bronze. The tactical number 121 appears on the side plate of the superstructure. The long gun, sloped front and side skirts create the silhouette characteristic of the Jagdpanther.
Interior and removable engine
Removable sections of the upper hull reveal a brick-built interior. This detail adds variety to the model's display, allowing you to show more than just its exterior shape.
The set also includes a removable engine model. You can place it inside the vehicle or set it alongside to stage a maintenance scene.
Moving parts and weaponry
This model is not just for display on a shelf, it can also be positioned within a diorama scene. The movable gun barrel allows for angle adjustments. The tracks move when the vehicle is pushed and opening hatches allow for a close-up look at the internal structure. The long barrel gives it a distinctive appearance.
The Jagdpanther is a tank destroyer with a fixed superstructure, so the model does not feature a rotating turret.
Jagdpanther Sd.Kfz. 173 commander figure
The set includes a figure that adds a narrative element to the model.
The tank destroyer commander wears a green uniform, an officer's peaked cap and black boots. He holds a Luger P08 pistol; positioned next to the Jagdpanther, he appears to be supervising the crew and awaiting the signal to move out.
Collector's plaque
An information plaque is included with the model bearing the name Jagdpanther Sd.Kfz. 173 and the 1:35 scale. Placed next to the vehicle, they help create a small collector's display.

Collector's Corner
1:35 Scale Jagdpanther
The finished model measures 250 mm in length, 105 mm in width and 75 mm in height. It can be displayed on a shelf, in a cabinet, or as part of a diorama; the 1:35 scale allows it to be paired with other vehicles from the COBI Historical Collection series.
The camouflage, number 121, visible interior section and removable engine offer several display options: from the complete vehicle to a scene depicting a halt and engine maintenance.
A Fact for Collectors
The three-color camouflage on German vehicles did not follow a single, identical pattern. Green and brown patches were applied by the units themselves, often using tools available on-site. Consequently, when comparing the model with archival photos of Jagdpanthers, you may notice varying arrangements of the same colors.

No stickers—only durable prints
The model's markings were applied using durable pad printing technology.
This solution ensures:
• Aesthetically pleasing model design
• Abrasion-resistant markings
• Durability during play and display
