hi freefall,
i've done a dragon (i think! it was a while back!!Big Smile [:D])one in 1'35...quite cool, Cool [8D]but the indiv track links are a bit tricky/tediousDisapprove [V]...didn't know tamiya did one...would love to know where i could get it!
i think czech master /mirage do zimmerit in resin for this tank for your info, but don't let moses catch me saying that!!! (sorry moses only kidding!)Big Smile [:D]
take care
nick
Kind regards, Nicholas

I am with Nick..the DML Jagdtiger is awesome. If you ever see this kit..grab it fast, becasue it was just rerealeased as far as know.

LOL Nick..you are free from the Zimmerit preaching this timeWink [;)] I agree that the DML Jagdtiger is a great kit. Tamiya had a Hunting Tiger years ago, but was more of a toy then a model. Nichimo has a Jagdtiger, and with a little work can be ok. But if you see a DML Kit, grab it up.

there are two Jagtigers from dragon
ones the Henshel and the others the porche, they differd from the suspension
go for the Henshel version becouse the tracks are easyer to make
on the porche tracks theres 5 parts for every track

OOps, it's green, dunklegelb, and brown. And it's the Tamiya late. And it's a Jagdpanther not a Jagdtiger!. Man, did I get all that wrong. Great Models is showing both of them (DML) OOP. I hope you're right about them being reissued. I bought an ESCI 1/72 out of despiration!! lol

Anybody know how good the Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV is??

one of them is out as Shanghie dragon ones out as Dragon and theres a Revel one out thats the Dragon kit reboxed
the Tamiya Jagdtiger is too short , its the same lenth as a Kingtiger and should be longer

Hi There
I've just built the Revell Jagdtiger which as has been said is the DML kit reboxed but minus the pe fret.The only aftermarket goodies used were the Aber grill set and the Eduard turned aluminium gun barrel.
This was my first attempt at indy link tracks and i think it came out ok.The Revell kit is cheaper than the DML kit so there's another consideration for you.
