I was thinking if I could put these two inside a single diorama?

Yes, they will fit perfect in an Ardennes diorama. Go for it!

Yep, Harrison is absolutely right!
It was my first thought also. They both participated in the Ardennes Offensive '44/'45.

You're right. The Panther has the markings for the Ardennes while the Jagd has generic markings. Perfect! Thanks!

Or you could do a factory dio with both normal Panthers and Jagdpanthers being assembled.

Thanks ekke. But maybe in the far future I just bought these two kits out in impulse cause I wanna try 1/72 armor for a change.

Shonen, can't beat the 1/72 offerings for a quick and easy build. As already stated, they will work nicely together in an Ardennes dio. Have some fun my friend. "Q"

"Preiser" offers a set of German Tankers (No 72515).
They are painted already, it's probably the easiest way to get some nice looking figures (sadly not the cheapest way)

Another one is Extratech's German tank crew (EXB 72004), Resin figures not painted

But there should be lots and lots of simmilar sets out there...
