A bit dented, but nothing a coat of paint wound not fix....there are at least 3 clues to the identity of this heap of scrap!

Actually...At first I thought this was too small for my original thought, so I went with the Hetzer... but now after looking again at the steel plate with the access hatches leaning up on the vehicle's left side and after studing the layout of the holes plus the fact that the gun is centered on the frame and not offset to the right as in the Hetzer, I am going to go with a Jagdpanther.

Well Thanatos, you are awesome!

The clues are the layout of the roof hatches, the design of the drive sprocket and the design of the sides of the glacis-plate. The final clincher would be the breech of the gun, which is typically 88mm and not at all like the 75mm of the Hetzer. This piece of junk is today running as part of a restored JagdPanther.
