JAGDTIGER almost complete(pics)

looks nice!

Looking good!
I like the camo. The track color is cool, too.

The pix may be of the model still "in progress," but the tracks look a bit too loose to me. I'd shorten 'em up a two-link unit per side and see what they look like.
That's just me, though!

Thanks J-hulk

Actually what I did was just lay them on the wheels to give a look through, they are not attatched but are as of now I think some earth toned pastels will give the effect I want. What I like about this and a few other dragon kits I built is the idler wheels are loose so you can adjust the slack and let me tell ya this thing is heavy!!

Got it weathered now Im in the process of puting figures with it the dragon achtung-jabo set. Will get pics up tomrrow...Hopefully.

for rust on the track I used a product I found on the discountmodels.com website called of all things" rust antiqing" by sophisticated finishes, I dilute the iron compound slightly with water or alchohol prior to applying let that dry then hit it with the ruster solution you only want rust on the track insides as the outer surface would be fresh metal regardless of terrain ( just look at any construction site to see this ) heres a pic from a bit back

Sweet Jagdtiger Sean. Well done camoflauge.

Hey it looks great. I'm envious of people who can paint like you.

Hey Shawn dont know if you remember but I am the guy you sent the tracks to. A friend gave me fruil tracks for it and welll the rest is history. As befor yours looks sweet.

Gderue if you are talkin about mine I thank you.

Ok here it is the almost coplete jagdtiger. I highly recommend this kit to any german armor fan.The only AM parts are the fruil track.The one suppied with the kit are adtualy good. I just have the weathering to do on the road wheels and put it in its diorama. Oh the figures are not completed as of yet.

Hey great job on the JT looks pretty darn good to me , and you have the correct color for the uniforms of the jaggy crew too ,( they wore grey not the black of the panzercrews) I have to say the jagdtiger is my favorite tank in my collection , its just a huge beast , as big as the abrams . It must have been a fright for any allied crew to come up against , that gun is just huge , mine is metal and actually needs help to stay up , have to talk to the viagra guys and see if they can come up with viagra modeling cement or something , maybe viagra paint for assault guns in 1/35 scale !

Looking awesome Ron!

What I did to keep it up was to glue a little piece in front of the breach.take the mantel off and you will see where it moves and put a little glue in the area with some plastic. all better. Stands TALL!!!
