Hi.
I've been working on this since january 2011.
It's comming along nicely and will soon be ready for primer and finally paint.
The build is based on a old single motor/clutch King Tiger kit wich I got from a colleague.
Hull is extended and reinforced.
Since last photos I have lowered the front deck with around 3mm to get correct propotions.
Tamiya Jagdtiger conversion.

Re: Tamiya Jagdtiger conversion.
The hull, superstructure and traverse unit is what I have built myself. Rest is aftermarketparts from Impact, Wecohe, Asiatam, ETO etc.
Re: Tamiya Jagdtiger conversion.
I didn't know you can get the JK mantlet and the gun after market. It looks amazing and the scale is right which is always the toughest part. Even some of the lesser manufacturer can't get it right.
Re: Tamiya Jagdtiger conversion.
Thanks.
The gun and mantlet is Wecohe stuff. Pricey, but most needed.
Everything is measured from a drawing, or several drawings I scaled upp and printed from blueprints.com.
I'm glad you like it

Re: Tamiya Jagdtiger conversion.
Thanks. There is a lot more to do with it before it's complete and ready for some primer.
I.eg I need to modify and mount the Asiatam full metal roadwheels, need to redo the traverse/elevation mechanic. Build a speaker box. etc.
