Re: Remove the gun from mantlet on Jagdtiger
Whew! I was hoping I had it right, but couldn't be certain. As the saying goes, "Even a blind monkey finds a banana once in a while."
Re: Remove the gun from mantlet on Jagdtiger
I also cut the mantlet like you (fredthefrench) show in the photos ( both parts to yeah) to get access to the clip' inside , and I had a friend machine down the barrel ( the part where the clip is ) to fit inside the clark universal recoil kit( + home made base ) and to get more length so it actually would recoil . It could probably been machined even alittle more , to get a slightly longer throw when recoiling, but overall I'm happy with how it came out
sadly When I tried to get the IR mantlet + barrel I was told I had to buy complete upper hull

yes, I have the same concerns as Her professor, with age I find the mm on a rule smaller and smaller ?? Fred, for having discussed with Franck last night, he also thinks that Torro, Taigen or HL is the same
Thank you Jofaur!!!! And say hello to Franck for me, next time!!!
Sorry for my spelling mistakes, I try to do better every day...

To be honest, your Jagdtiger is my model. I need to remake each side. 1.5 mm+ 2 mm+ 0.5 mm of styrene.
Mine will be the X7, but a lot of work, because previous owner have made impact holes. Some differents hooks are broken and front plate was broken too (now this part has been repaired)...
