Pics of my almost complete Jagdtiger

Excellent Job spector!!! I like the wheathering on it!!! How did you do the treads? Are they indy treads? Whats that kit?

Coca-Cola wasn't in aluminum cans at the time of the JagdTiger's reign? LOL! ! !

Very nice Shawn. Looks great from where I am.

That is absolultey correct scorn ! Armourmaster the kit is DML JT henschell highly modified with that ABER stuff ( 2 kits of it , fenders and the regular goodies , What fun ! eduard barrel ( hence the need for barrel viagra or a bottle ) the thing has some weight to it , the tracks are model kasten , ( don't even go there , this will be my last MK kit ever !) , now to weathering tracks got my usual black , rust job over , silver drybrush and graphite , the whole tank got washed , chipped,then dusted with thinned out humbrol earth , Black pastel on the main gun and mahine gun front earth dust on the rest . The commander drinks to much ,and his army airborne cohorts drink too much coca cola !

looks great. i wonder who would win...a M1A1 or a Jagdtiger!!

Nice job, Spec. I think that figure in black uniform does not belong there. The colors just do not match that of the tank. He-he-he.

Looking great Spector.

Looks awesome love it. I just got this kit only differance is I think is mine came with transport tracks instead of combat tracks and no fenders, and a few photo etched parts is there some where I can get the combat tracks and other goodies?

where do you live thundergod , you can have my DML indies if you would like them , however the next Question would be , is it a porsche version or a henshell ? Porsche version , the links may not match up . Just let me know . The fenders are aber , they are a bit trickey to build , but as you can see they are pretty kool when done , my terrible camera does not do this model justice , but I do the best I can with what I got , as for the aber , if you can solder the larger bits together it is worth it , you need plumbers flux to pull it off and fine wire silver and lead solder, I am doing a marder 3 with aber fenders, the superglue was just making a mess , so i tried soldering ,and the results were just awesome , you cannot break the bond without destroying the brass , if you are careful there is no more residue than with CA glue

I have the henshell kit # 9036 it also came with a command anttena I just took a peak in the box the kit looks nice. And I live in the good old heartland ...omaha nebraska. Good thing Im a welder from the sounds of it .hehehe So if they will work I will take em off you hands, transport tracks do not do this beast justice.

Just toss me an e mail with your address , I will try to send em' out tomorrow to ya ' use my spector82@aol.com mailbox

Its on the way and thanks again spector822002 .

well done (so far)

joe

Great work on the beast, it even feels dangerous from those pictures

Looks great... Can't wait to see it once you have everything done...

That's top shelf! Looks really great.

Man that is one great looking piece! All that work (including the eventual repair to your wall) is well worth it! It's so cool when it all comes together. I bet it would give Otto the chills.

Niiiiice!

Shawn,
Great Job chief! The weathering is top notch... I like the blurred out camo a lot. Hope that interior comes together... What kind of airbrush do you use? Paint?

Keep it up bro, I can't wait to see the dio...

PS. sorry I coudn't keep up

Looks good. I really like the profile of this machine.

What's wrong with the last pic? Nothing!!!! It's proof that the US DOES have time-machines, albeit all they've been able to send back so far is a piece of plastic

Great work! The whole thing looks good, but I really like the tracks. I know they caused you grief, but the look fantastic.

Wasn't Pepsi the sponsor of desert storm? That was the only problem I could see....

Matt

Excellent work. That is one nice piece of kit. Thanx for showing us.

Keep well.

Looks great! Mit ze interior alzo! Super. I love interiors!

Ron

Great!

i dont think that we had m 16's or coca-cola in WW 2 though

Great job, Spector

Awesome weathering! Way to dirty it up!

Very nicely done Spector !!!!

Thanks a lot guys , after all it is just a camouflaged 70 ton roadblock anyhow , but it was one mean looking machine , it must have been pretty imposing to have this thing shooting at you back then , then gun even in scale has some weight to it ( eduard barrel) , it was a fun build ( and frustrating at times ) first attempt at ABER but when you finally get to paint , photoetch makes the difference . I am going to do a T-34/85 next I think , I need different colors in my case , and then some good ole american stuff wouldn't hurt , maybe a sherman or a tank killing pershing , and to any of you you the do photoetch brass , I highly reccomend soldering the brass bits together instead of using CA glue to attach the parts to themselves you only need a tiny bit of flux and fine solder , you simply cannot break the bond without destroying the brass itself . Also a small torch , or in my case my gas stove , works best for the larger pieces Peace to all , and happy modeling , Shawn BTW I wish I could remember how I did the skin tones on my airborne figs in the last pic , they were done a while back , and both of them are the best I ever did , the german guy to the far right is new and he looks like an outcast from dawn of the dead !

Looks great!
never knew the U.S. was so advanced for ww2

Beautiful job, spector!

The paintjob, weathering and overall look are great.

Regards, Dan
