I saw some photos earlier - looks great!
Be expensive for a static kit I think - £250+
Trumpeter 1/16 Jagdtiger
Re: Trumpeter 1/16 Jagdtiger
I'm very interested to see what decals and paint schemes they go with.
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

Their King Tiger isn't exactly what I'd call cheap either. Every time I have almost enough saved to buy it some "emergency" cones along and the money has to go.

The word "daunting" comes to mind. Here's one vendor pre-selling the beast:

Re: Trumpeter 1/16 Jagdtiger
I do get annoyed when a dealer who sells military models and the associated bits and pieces fails to get their facts right.
I just went to Shwerepanzer's dealer tip off site.
They are selling a 1/32 Avro Shackleton MR2 under the heading "WW2 aircraft" Well it wasn't, I lost some friends in one that ditched in the Indian Ocean in 1968,
The Aircraft operated out of RAF Changi and was en-route to RAF Gan in the Maldives, The aircraft was a total loss.
The army aviation unit that operated out of RAF Changi used to park their DHC 2 Beavers under the mainplanes of the Shacks in their hanger.
The MR1 first saw service in the early 50s, and yes I know it looks like a Lancaster but the Lancastrian came between them in the late 40s, The Nimrod replaced the Shack in most but not all roles, ( DON'T ASK) and was finally retired in April 1991 after being reroled having to replace the Nimrod AEW which was embarrassingly withdrawn,
The Nimrod retiring from service just 15 years later.

Re: Trumpeter 1/16 Jagdtiger
Froget about the Avro mis information...... This is the description of the JT on that page:
9A52-2 Smerch-M is a Soviet heavy multiple rocket launcher. The system is designed to defeat personnel, armored, and soft-skinned targets in concentration areas, artillery batteries, command posts and ammunition depots. It was created in the early 1980s and entered service in the Soviet Army in 1989.[1] When first observed by the West in 1983, it received the code MRL 280mm M1983. It is expected to be superseded by the 9A52-4 Tornado.
?!?!?!?
