Italeri Jagdpanther updated 1st august

This build has been shelved for about a year now and i keep getting it out, look at it then put it back and do something else. Well i finally started on it again. Ive detailed the engine compartment and scratched certain details, added cavalier zim and changed the tracks to single link which ive done in two sections so as i can take them off for painting .Ive added PE front fender with damage and also destressed the side trim.

Hey Andy, that's really coming along nicely. I was looking at the earlier pics and wondering about the shallow grilles, but with the mesh and the AA armour mounted, it's really a non-issue now. ![Thumbs Up [tup]](/emoticons/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif)

I'd be really happy to get that much PE assembled in 1-1/2 hours... looking good at any rate.

Cheers guys, Bill i dont do a lot of this PE stuff but i agree its worth the extra detail on a kit of this caliber as some of the kits parts are pretty dismal in detail, in heinsight i would have bought the Dragon version but it wasnt out when i started this build. UMMMM its been that long already wow.

Tigerman that would be quite an achievment for a cheap startoff kit like this one.

Nice of you to say so, i think most kits can look precentable with a bit of work on the finer details.

You have proven that point man times already Andy. Your Trumpeter 38H build is a fine example of your detailed weathering and attention to detail vastly improving the original kit! This looks great. I love the Zimm!

Thanks Schnobs, Latest additions is more PE followed by some primer, i made the spade and added small chains to the tow hook holders, added the handle and fastners to the cleaning rods tube,fastners to the stowage bins etc. Still have the rear end to sort out and to fabricate new spare track holders to the rear on both sides of the hull.
