This heavyweight kit from Tamiya includes intricate zimmerit coating texture, detailed suspension, and the imposing rocket mortar that made this vehicle legendary.
The Jagdpanther Late Version is widely considered one of the finest tank destroyers of WWII, combining the Panther chassis with a powerful 88mm gun in a low-profile, heavily armored casemate. Tamiya's late production variant features authentic details including modified exhaust system and late-war track patterns.
The M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage provided crucial fire support for American armored divisions, mounting a 75mm howitzer on the M5 light tank chassis. This versatile vehicle served throughout the European and Pacific theaters, and Tamiya's kit faithfully reproduces its open-topped turret and distinctive profile.
The K9 Thunder from Academy brings this collection into the 21st century. South Korea's premier self-propelled howitzer features a 155mm gun with automated loading systems and advanced fire control. Academy's kit showcases modern armored vehicle engineering with detailed suspension, reactive armor panels, and contemporary camouflage schemes.
