I built this for Tigermans Panzerjager group build. It is the Dragon kit #6015 that I bought years ago. I think the kit has been reissued and I hope they replaced the plastic mesh screens with some PE screens. The build was done completely out of the box.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

The camo and weathering look great.I got this one in the stash.I'll get to it some day.
Very well done John and you overcame those Thoma shields. I forgot to mention if you noticed that Tristar is releasing one? I wonder what that kit will include?
Thanks again for participating.

I just went over to Perth's site and sure enough there was a review of the Tristar kit. Sadly, no PE shileds.

Hi ogrejohn
I peeked in a few times on the group build... saw your effort. Very glad you didnt smash after the glue mishap....... It looks GREAT
I like the skirts and the camo.... overall very well done!!
Mostly, thanks for sharing.
Bill
Enjoy the ride!
Looks great John !
Very nice job! I've got this kit in the stash, and those Thoma shields look like a bear! Yours came out excellent, well done.

Bish, Thank you very much!
TD4438, Thank you! You ought to dig it out of the stash, it goes together pretty good.
Eric, Thank you! This was the first time I had tried to put together shields like these. That's too bad the Tristar kit doesn't have PE shields. Using that plastic mesh was the worst part of the build for me.
Bill, Thank you, the CA mishap just about pushed me over the edge!
Carl, Thank you very much!
Nate, Thank you! The shields were real fiddly for me.
Saw that PMMS review yesterday. Seems the side skirts may be the only issue with the kit. But looks nice.
You should be very happy with that one. Well done.

Bish, I saw the review as well. Looking at the template for the shields it looks like it's one long piece whereas the Dragon template is for three pieces. Cutting the material out as one long piece and then separating them into sections would be a better way to go. Wish I'd done that with mine, didn't even think about doing it that way.
Marc, Thank you!
Nice work on the older kit John, paint scheme came out nice. The Jagdpanzer IV Alkett design is big, boxy, and menacing and you've captured it perfectly in this build.

Thank you very much Bill!

Terry.
Mighty fine Mr John.......mighty fine.
I got that kit too and I'll have it up here on the forum some day.
Terry and Steve, thank you very much!
John - Nice job, love the camo work, it turned out great.
Rounds Complete!!

Thanks Mike!
One of the nicer examples of the Jagdpanzer A version I've seen modeled...I don't like the lines/look of this version but you've modeled a very attractive Jagdpanzer here...
Thank you very much Manny!
Very well done! Dig the camo look!

ogrejohn Eric, Thank you! This was the first time I had tried to put together shields like these. That's too bad the Tristar kit doesn't have PE shields. Using that plastic mesh was the worst part of the build for me.
I just read that the Tristar kit comes with wire mesh for the schurzen.
Thank you very much IBuild148!
Eric, the wire mesh has got to be better than the plastic stuff.

Roger that. Has to be more accurate.
