If you decide that the Jagdtiger was the one you were looking for/thinking of... the Tamiya kit released at the end of '08 was one of the finest kits i've built and highly recommend.

What about Soviet SPG's? I'm thinking maybe an SU-100 or 122 in 1/35. Who makes a decent kit of one of those?

Nope, I think Shellback nailed it. I couldn't remember if it was German or Soviet, but it did have the casement and gun mounted forward, with the engine deck in the rear. Wonder if they make a 1/35 kit of those? Can't decide between that or  one of the Soviet SPG's.

There's a lot of kits of the "Hunting Tiger" in 1/35th . Tamiya and DML (Dragon) have good choices . Here's a couple of 1/35th kits i found on Sprue Bros. web site Yes

Yep, I think that was it, Phil. The box art looks VERY familiar.

If it was 1/72 and in the 80's, it may have been the Esci Jagdtiger kit. If I recall correctly, the aforementioned doors were hinged and could be opened, though there was nothing inside to look at. It's still available, reboxed by Italeri.

Tank destroyer with double doors in the back?
Posted by dirkpitt77 on Thursday, September 13, 2012 11:18 PM

   Back in the '90's when I was a youngster, I built a 1/72 kit of a tank destroyer. Pretty sure the box art had it in winter camouflage, which is how I painted it. On the rear of the superstructure, instead of one access door like the Jagdpanther has, I believe it had double doors that latched in the middle.  Does anyone remember this kit and know what vehicle it was? I was just thinking about that old kit I built.
