 Most of the sprue trees are marked as being from previous Dragon kits, the Panther G and Jagdpanther early G1 Smart Kits. Lower Hull:    Happy New Year Folks Tony lee |

Oh boy Uncle Tony really lost his mind... another non-green build! Wait a minute it does have some green on it... what the heck count me in!!! Always thought those JPs are the most sexy SPG in my opinion...

Differences? Nothing ground shattering Jeff just a lot of small changes. The main things were the casement shape and the engine deck was a little longer and items placed in different locations from where they were. It does have a lot of GREEN Wingy Cheers Tony lee |

Nope NO interior at all just a lump of plastic that's suppose to be the 88 breech.  Pretty good for a MSRP of $70  Shame on you DML Tony lee |

Totally agree Tony, way cool looking beasts, shame the carbs kept spitting fuel and melting many of them before they fired a shot ! Just started the Tamiya JP yesterday for a quick build to practice a late camo scheme on so taking a seat for this one Los |

Yep Los by the time they got all the bugs worked out the war was about over.
Those that were left still standing were pulled back to defend the home land.

Cee Bee I built the suspension Monday= about 8 1/2 hrs I built most of the upper hull today= about 8 hrs There is NO interior and i've already built the Dragon Early G1 so I already knew about where everything went and both of those gave me an advantage to building this one. My Early G1   Plus I don't get out much and have too much time on my hands. Tony lee |

We do that every year... not today but tomorrow as it is a tradition from my wife's family. At first I didn't like it but now I love it... Great work on JP... it is starting to look sexy. Saw news... you getting snow already. We are expecting a lot tomorrow... |

Don't know what some of these companies are thinking at times. No interior, but they still add the intake boxes, the gun breech, and a full set of torsion bars.... or, were these leftovers from a previous kit that did have a more complete interior?
Any way you say it, that's still some quick building there, Tony. That G1 looks pretty spiffy there, too!

AFV this is the only sprue tree marked "G2" all the others are marked "G" or "G1".  Other trees are from the Panther G Smart kit  or the Jagdpanther G1 Smart kit  Looking for parts on 22 trees is fun. Thanks guys Tony lee |

We got snow as well but it went through here quickly and we only got 3 inches and man did it get cold. Update 7.5 hrs today Rear hull plate:   Had to hit a couple of spots with a light filing to get it to fit nice. Upper hull installed plus more parts:     Casement roof just a dry fit for now. Stay warm out there Tony lee |
