Yes, that is a very rare Jagdpanzer, the IV A-O, the prototype of the vehicle (or at least initial production, can't remember if it was technically the prototype). It is distinquishable by the rounded corners of the superstructure front. This is the vehicle that DML just announced to be released in kit form in February. I wonder what ever became of that particular vehicle as it looked quite ravaged as of the 70's. Shame, too, for such a rare piece.
