Glue, paints, and tools are not included.Historical Background:The Jaguar I (Raketenjagdpanzer 1) entered Bundeswehr service in the early 1960s, mounting French SS.11 anti-tank missile launchers on a tracked hull. Designed for rapid anti-armor strikes, it offered long-range firepower but limited secondary armament. The Beobachtungspanzer conversion swapped missiles for observation equipment and additional radios, supporting artillery spotting missions. This kit faithfully represents both roles in one versatile package.Suggested Paint References:These paint suggestions are visually based on authentic Bundeswehr Cold War camo schemes and may differ from the colours referenced in the instructions.
