Jagdtiger 331

Hi these pictures show tank 331 as she was found abounded by US troops. The main difference is that the barrel is not retracted as when the troops found her. Geoff

The photos will be in the next post

No idea why they upside down. They look fine on my phone. If you click on them, they turn the right way up.

Sorted

Many thanks for putting on there. Geoff

Which brand is the lower hull?
On the models I've seen so far, there's a "huge" gap between the idler wheel and the road wheel in front of it.
Your model looks more like the real Jagdtiger, with no gap.
Very nice altered model btw, looks awesome!

Do you mean a gap like these have?

Really nice JT.
The Henschel lowered versions have a gap between the idler & last road wheel that is quite pronounced in some pictures.
The right side is less obvious and even less so depending on the deflection of the wheel at the time the pic is taken.
My model has a similar trait.
The gap of course is also influenced by the position of the idler when used to tension the track.
I have mine on the rearmost setting(track tight) but have left an extra link in the track to get the right look and performance.
Once the tracks wear I should be able to remove a link and set the idler closer to the road wheel .

Yes indeed.
In most 1-16 tanks that gap is very visible, and on real tanks it doesn´t look like that at all.
