Just starting on my new Jagdpanther, I was thinking of removing the front track guards, would anyone know on the real Jagd would this leave a mounting flange along the front edge of the hull ? Cant find a photo showing this area. Thanks.

Would this help?

do you think those are 50cal dents in the front glacis on the JP?

probably A/P rounds from a Typhoon or mustang

Thanks that sort of helps, cant see a flange on there, Heng long have put a row of bolts along back edge of guard that would suggest it bolted to some sort of bracket or flange.

there was no bracket welded under the track guard on the jagdpanther but on the (panther A) a bracket did support the guard.

Thanks, will probably remove them, too many tanks and not enough free time !

DOH !

i think i misread your post, there is a bracket welded along the front of where the guard is mounted this is where it was bolted onto the vehicle, i remember measuring the bracket at bovvy and it was (if memory serves) 3inch shorter than the original track-guard and the bracket was 2inch wide.

Ah now I see, thought there must be something to bolt it to, think I will cut guard off forward of moulded join and create a bracket/flange , has anyone else removed these ? Thanks for help
