Just completed this 1/35 old Dragon Jagdtiger built OOB. I modeled it after 305009 which was the 9th Porsche Jagdtiger built and used as a training vehicle. The first 50 Porsche Jagdtigers received the zimmerit coating and none of the Henschel built ones had any.
The only extra things I did to it was to use a 30w soldering iron to make the zimm and the battle tracks were modified into transport tracks since this particular Jagdtiger was believed to have this track only.
Paints used were MM enamels, and Alclad lacquers. Weathering was kept light with some washes and weathering powders.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Wow, hand cut zimm...ooff, that's a lot of work. It looks fantastic. Well done.

Thanks BK but actually quite easy and fast to make. One just needs a VERY light touch.
Tojo72Very nice work on the one color scheme,look great
Thanks Tojo. Yes the yellow single color has lots of tonal hues from a marbling undercoat .
Your zimmerit is outstanding and your weathering really brought this vehicle to life. Nice job.
That looks really damn good! You got the most mileage possible from a bare basic vehicle and color scheme with minimal mud, dirt, chipping, etc.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Hmmm.
I need to flatten some trees. Where's the keys?
Thanks Bill and TB.
TB I'm sure that beast could also flatten out a good sized building as it plowed thru it.
That sure is a good-looking tank, PJ.
Bad A$$!!!!

Thanks guys.
GS make sure you use a 30w or lower iron. I took a small thin old screw driver that was the perfect size and modified it to fit the iron. Go nice and light and you will be amazed how fast you can do the entire tank.
Nicley done!
Thanks,
John
plasticjunkie Thanks guys. GS make sure you use a 30w or lower iron. I took a small thin old screw driver that was the perfect size and modified it to fit the iron. Go nice and light and you will be amazed how fast you can do the entire tank.
GS you can use those plastic advertisement cards (they look like credit cards) that come in the junk mail as a test piece.
Hi, Ernie -
You make the Zimm work sound easy, but I'll bet it wasn't so much. Took a good eye and fine touch to pull that off so well.
Very nice job, thanks for the post and photos.

Thanks Patrick for stopping by and commenting.
A very nice looking build, the Tamiya hunting tiger was one of my first Tamiya kits. The Dragon kit looks much superior. You've done a good job with it.
Thanks Rob!
