Jagdtiger interior - converting Henschell into porsche.

Jadgtiger: The Most Powerful Armoured Fighting Vehicle of WWII, volume 1, Technical History, by Andrew Devey, Schiffer Publishing, ISBN:0-7643-0750-9 $50
This is the book you need. 144pages, 170 b/w photos, 60 line drawings. Details the origin, design, construction and assembly of this vehicle. The armour, armaments, engine, transmission, suspension systems, electrical and optical equipment are all covered in detail. Everything you never needed to know about this beast!
Sorry, I don't own it myself, or I would be able to answer your questions. I only have volume two, Operation History. If you need info on that, I'd be happy to help.

Hi Leopold!

Thanks for the answer! unfortunatly 50$ is money I dont have for books, but for more models!

I'm looking for the cheapest way to build models, so hopefully the info I'm loking for is allready on the internet? any ideas anyone?

Thank's ALOT!

I don't know of any sites right off hand, but I'll usually fork out for a good reference book, because that's almost half the battle in building good models. A kit, basic skills, good tools and good references are all important. My favorite references are my own photos, then comes my library, which I add to when good photos or data are needed.

Also, if $50 is too much for a book right now, try your library. Chances are, somewhere in the system, there is a copy of the book that you can get. Remember, (in spite of the fact that the federal government didn't mind cutting millions in library funding to give everybody a 'tax rebate' ), they can draw books from all over the country, including museums.

A library card may be your most cost effective ref material. Try it, you might get a pleasant surprise.

Thank's GUY'S!

Good advice! maybe I will come up with somthing...

Sorry I didn’t post sooner, but I figured I knew very little about this topic. Hope this helps:

“There were two basic types of Jagdtiger manufactured in 1944/45, differentiated only by their suspension.”

That is a direct quote from this site:

good luck with the build

Thank's edog, but I'm allready aware about this one.
Unfortenatly it's not enough...
Hope it woul'd be useful for the others! It is a very good link.

as the suspension was the only difference you should be ok with the interior, just dont add or remove the Torsion bars as the Porche didnt use them
