Sd.Kfz. 173 Jagdpanther Brass Detail Set

Manufacturer: ExtraTECH (Kit No. EXV 72 004)

This set is composed of 17 parts, which include:

• star antenna and mount
• periscope and visor covers
• access hatch handles
• rear tow rings
• wire cutters and crowbar

Not all of the parts in this set are useful. The items I would not use are the tow rings and hatch handles (I would use bent wire), and the pioneer tools (the brass is too flat). This doesn't leave much. I feel that it was a mistake to not include the engine deck screens, which are very important parts best replicated in brass. This set is only marginally useful without them. Although the set is labeled for use with the Revell Jagdpanther, due to the lack of engine deck screens, it can also be used with the ESCI kit.
