I have put a spare wheel on my jagdpanther.but i have not come across any photos,models or References on them having one.
i know most panthers had a spare,so i thought why not a JP.
i have fitted it on the side where the spare tracks are and made a sort of bolt thing so it looks like its bolted on and not just glued.
Seems sort of silly if thay did not have them fitted.
Cheers all

I've never seen a photo where a Jagdpanther has a spare wheel. I think it's not too unrealistic, but you should have "bound" it onto the spare tracks (or to some other place) with a chain or a steelcable since apparently there was no special bolt or holder which was destined for holding a spare wheel.
