AFV Modeller released several upgrade sets for 1/16 scale WWII German armor.

16171 PANZER IV STOWED JACK

This 3D printed Jack offers enhanced levels of detail and comes with its stowage clamps moulded on (the folded Jack handle is separate) so it’s ready to fit to the track guard of your kit.

16172. PANZER IV TOOL STOWAGE AUSF H/J

This 3D printed upgrade set provides stowed examples of the vehicle tools with the clamps all in place so no need to frustrate yourself with photo etched clamps. The set includes: C Hook Rack, Jack Block, Spade, Gun Cleaning Rods, Axe, Wire Cutter, Idler Spanners, Idler Adjuster, Starter Crank, 4x Clips to hold the crowbars and the rear Convoy Lamp.

16173 PANTHER GUN CRUTCH

This Highly detailed 3D printed replacement part accurately replicates the Panther Gun Crutch with its adjustable ‘chain’ clamp which has parts to model the chain it two positions. The crutch itself can be modelled standing or folded down.

16174 PANTHER / JAGDPANTHER TOOL STOWAGE SET A, TOOL STOWAGE FRAMES WITH INTEGRAL TOOLS

Tool Stowage frames with Integral Tools

One of our least favourite jobs on the Panther or Jagdpanther is sorting out the tool stowage frames. This 3D printed set offers a high quality quick solution with superior levels of detail. The tools are all printed in position on the frames with clasps. Only the C Hooks and the Fire Extinguisher are separate parts and the hooks come with sets of separate pins with working chains. We need to point out that the chains are incredibly delicate and may not be something that every modeller will want to use. We have provided spares so those who love them (and why wouldn’t you?) can achieve the added level of detail they offer. There is also a locking pin and working chain for the idler adjuster bar, and the set also includes the Jack Block and the Cable Reel.

16175 PANTHER / JAGDPANTHER TOOL STOWAGE SET B, TOOL STOWAGE FRAMES WITH SEPARATE TOOLS

Tool Stowage frames with Separate Tools

One of our least favourite jobs on the Panther or Jagdpanther is sorting out the tool stowage frames. This 3D printed set offers a high quality quick solution with superior levels of detail. In this set all the tools are printed as individual parts but with their clasps in position. This offers a little more flexibility in terms of painting and weathering for those who demand that. As with Set A, the C Hooks and the Fire Extinguisher are also separate parts and the hooks come with sets of separate pins with working chains. We need to point out that the chains are incredibly delicate and may not be something that every modeller will want to use. We have provided spares so those who love them (and why wouldn’t you?) There is also a locking pin and working chain for the idler adjuster bar, and the set also includes the Jack Block and the Cable Reel.
