Looks like a great start! What paint scheme are you going to use? Also, what AO or combat scenario do you plan for this late Jagdpanther?
Thanks for reminding me of my need to build one of these beautiful beasties! Hard for me to accept that 30 years has passed since I built one last!!

What a great build! You'll need to fix the armored intake housing on the the top of the engine deck- it should be squared off instead of the earlier rounded profile. Also the final JP used a different drive sproket - but I really think Im nit-picking. I love the paintwork!
