I ordered one of FOV's jagdpanther, the germany version (80312). Can anyone give me a sneak peak? :mrgreen:

I sold mine a long while ago, but when I had it, it was one of the best pieces of 1:32 diecast in my collection. It's not the one you ordered, but they look fairly similar. The details are incredible, although the side skirts are a royal pain in the butt to insert.

One of FOV's best 1:32nd armor pieces. Kind of funny as well, as I think the tooling dates from 2004, making it one of their earlier toolings as well. Just about every hatch opens, tools, cables, armor skirting, and accessories are removable. Unlike a lot of FOV tanks, this one has a partial interior, complete with visible gun breach for the 88mm gun and stowed rounds and crew seats detailed. Lots of weathering as well. If you don't intend to remove the armor skirts, you may want to glue them in place as they are a pain... Overall, its really a fantastic tank :D

The jagdpanther arrived today, and it looks excellent. I may do a review later, but simply WOW. The details are incredible and the camo is painted in an amazing subtle light green. :D
