The dimensions JJD provides are 23cm long hull, 11cm width and 8.5cm height. The actual Jagdpanther dimensions are: 9.65m hull length, 3.27m width and 2.72m high. The dimensions of the JJD model are correct for length and width: 1/30 hull length and 1/29.7 hull width. The height is in error unless the dimension provided by JJD of 8.5cm is wrong. 8.5 cm height =1/32 not 1/30!
1/30 should be 9cm high.

Perhaps the height has been compressed to work best with WB, FL and JJD figures; which run in the 58 to 60mm height range? The JJD Jagdpanther is too small to be size compatible with K&C, TG or TCS figures; which range between 64mm to 68mm tall typically.

Sad that the latest generation of Toy Soldier armor no longer comes with any figures. The Honor Bound and Collectors Showcase Jagdpanthers came with two excellent figures. The Tamiya 1/25 Jagpanther kit came with 6 figures. I would gladly trade the extra barrel and interior detail for two JJD figures to go with the Jagdpanther.


What scale of figures do collectors expect this tank to fit in with? I know Sammy is a First Legion collector, and I think Robin goes with K&C.
John mentions a tank crew will be produced, but this monster will also need infantry support.
 
As the tank is the same size exactly as my K&C, I have plenty of tank crew that will fit while waiting for John's announced crew, which I would expect to be in July dispatches for August. Here's hoping. Robin.
 
I will have my GA-001, WAD-021/021D on 25th, next Tuesday.
Shipped to me today. So others would be receiving July sets soon.
