I have always wondered why the Allies never worked on anything resembling the “Jagdpanzer” style of vehicles, so I tried it for myself.

The vehicle is supposed to represent an interim answer to the Panther/Tiger threat on the Western front, mating a Sherman with” Easy Eight” suspension to a fixed casemate housing a 90mm gun.

The lower hull and suspension comes from a 1/72 UM kit, the gun is from a Trumpeter Pershing and the rest is scratch.
