That was how the 88 started life, wasn't it?

(Hell of a machine, the JP - we were only lucky they brought them and the other machines out in small numbers late in the war and with inadequate fuel)

I'd say that that was a Panther rather than the derivative which would make the gun a 75 (which was arguably a better gun than the Tiger's 88 - though not as good as the Tiger II's 88)

It's a Jagdpanther (tank-destroyer version of the Panther), which sported an 88/L71 - the long-barrel high-velocity update to the Tiger-1 gun, and the same as fitted to the Tiger II and Elefant.

The Panther and the JP were arguably the most worrying of all the Wehrmacht armour (when they worked / didn't run out of fuel, at least) - more mobility than the Tiger and the heavier tank destroyers, but with armour enough to defeat most Allied guns.

Are you telling me that Thunderbirds was merely puppets on strings?

THE greatest save, from a different angle.

Nerd alert... Panther Jagdpanther has a different gun mantlet to the Panther

OK. Completely against PH policy, I'm going to concede that it looks like I'm wrong...

I'll go and hand in my beard right away!
