The Jagdpanther (Hunting Panther) was based on the Panther chassis but had the 88mm PaK 43 long-barrelled gun from the Tiger II. With an excellent balance of firepower, mobility and amrour, it became one of the most iconic Tank Destroyers of WW2 and was a formidable opponent for any tank at the time.
One of ten surviving Jagdpanthers, this example has recently been repainted into an accurate colour scheme and markings. It is on display in Hall 11 of the Patriot Museum Complex.
