The Jagdpanzer was a German heavy tank destroyer produced during World War II, featuring effective armament, mobility, and armor; but its limited production numbers did not significantly impact the war. Development began in August 1942, finished in November 1943, and was showcased to Hitler in December. Mass production started in early 1944, resulting in 425 units being created.
Built on the Panther tank chassis, the Jagdpanther featured a fully enclosed superstructure with sloped walls. It had two circular hatches on the roof, a rear door, and an ammunition loading hatch. The crew of five consisted of a commander, gunner, driver, loader, and radio operator. The primary weapon was an 88 mm anti-tank cannon. The armor ranged from 40 to 60 mm on the hull and 25 to 80 mm on the superstructure.
Weighing over 45 tons, the Jagdpanther was powered by a 700 horsepower Maybach HL 230 engine, consuming 280 liters of gasoline per 100 km on-road and up to 700 liters in rough terrain. Despite its excellent design, fuel shortages in late 1944 and 1945 hindered its effectiveness. The weapon’s combination of mobility, firepower, and protection made it a formidable opponent against Allied and Soviet tanks.
This Torro 1/16 scale replica will impress the most demanding scale tanks, as the realistic airbrushed finish and stunning details combine to deliver a model that is equally adept at operation or display. An included 2.4GHz radio system provides interference-free control, while the sound system and latest speaker design deliver a range of realistic engine, track, cannon, and machine gun sound effects. Due to its weight and powerful motors and metal-geared transmission, this tank delivers superior driving characteristics over a wide range of terrain. The high-quality tracks, drive wheels, and idler wheels as well as road wheels, lower hull, turret are all manufactured from metal.
In addition to standard forward/backward/turning/spin movements, the main cannon can be raised and lowered via the servo controlled elevation/recoil mechanism. In addition, the cannon barrel recoils during firing while emitting a flash of light and smoke when fired, while the included smoke system produces a realistic plume of exhaust while driving.

Barrel Recoil and Muzzle Flash Effect This model features adjustable cannon elevation, synchronized barrel recoil, and muzzle flash effect. When firing the main cannon, the barrel recoils at the same time that an LED inside the barrel flashes and a firing sound plays through the tank's internal speaker. Normally a costly aftermarket feature, this entire system is pre-installed in this Torro masterpiece. |
