I ordered the previous early version without zimmerit yesterday. Figures.

bill_c SAID
The savings on Zim alone would help defray the cost of Friuls! Nice. :) Damn DS tracks, so it'll need Friuls. Grrrrrr.

GarandShooter SAID
HA, me too. It should be in the mail today. Also ordered a resin zimmerit kit for it. Oh well, that's how it goes.

Me thinks you guys are O.K. The early jadgpanther has the square zimmerit pattern if I remember correctly. I purchased a DML panther A late (without zimmerit). I applied zimmerit myself. I used squadron green putty. I applied about a square inch at a time, then let it hard for a few minutes or so. I would then score the pattern I wanted on the putty. Squadron's putty shrunk and formed a very very nice square pattern. It did not look like scored putty at all. I dont have a camera right n...

You knew it was only a matter of time before we got this one :D I enjoyed the Tiger I+II and the Panther D , so I will probably get this one too !!

spitfire303 SAID
I have the first version with magic tracks, atak resin zimmerit set and the mega PE set from voyager, won't be getting this one for sure and I'm happy about this. DS tracks for a panther :| have they lost their mind :-?

gabo SAID
Yeah! I love the Jagdpanther... I have the 6458 with magic tracks. DS tracks are fine but I think the first ones are superb!!... Maybe Dragon are taking "ears" to some reviewers such K. Sewell who always complain for magic tracks. Please Dragon No DS tracks for big cats!!!!... maybe for smaller tanks but not for those Tigers, Panthers, etc.. etc... anny comment??.. regards. Gabo. :-H

Metal_blast SAID
More DS tracks... :( They suit allied armor because the links don't have sag; German armor tracks are live on the other hand.

Dodger013 SAID
Was already set with the original w/ Atak zimm too but always good to have an already zimm applied version. I had really hoped they were making the Late G hull type when I first read the topic, but perhaps in time.
