Tamiya Jagdpather

What are the side plates called that protect the wheels?

Is it a Jagdpather if you do not use those plates?

Schürzen, and they are detachable, they don’t make or not make a Jagdpanther, they are just metal plates.

thanks Bish i screwed up the rails they attach to so i’ll Do a better job next time.

If you have only messe up one side, add the plates on the other and call it battle damage [;)]

You’ll see a lot of photos with the plates knocked off so you don’t have to use them.

Personally, I’d just toss a camo net or some foliage camo over the areas of the rails that are messed up.

So what they do not do is get bent. The support rails however sure did.
