Yip, swap them side to side. The angled line on the extended tread should face up when viewed from the front.
Although, there are many pictures with them on the down plane like yours are.
I cant find it just now but the correct method is they slope up when viewed from the front.
Great colour track wash by the way. what actual colour did you use ?
Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV

Now you've got me looking at photo's. And you're right, plenty of photo's of them both ways.HERMAN BIX wrote:Yip, swap them side to side. The angled line on the extended tread should face up when viewed from the front.

The colors are Tamiya, first down was Field Grey, then Hull Red, and then I hit them in random places with Flat Black.

Re: Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV
Good colour, I will give it a go.
The tracks officially are the other way round, but imagine the hassle of getting them on, only find the damn things are backwards........as I a crew would piss around at -30 C and change them
Shame about the schurzen eh, still, easy as they are to mount, you could change tracks & fit them at leisure

Re: Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV
Yes, I will get to them soon and make the change, thanks for pointing this out Herman. I'm not a big Schurzen fan, I like to watch all of those wheels, tracks, and suspension working over objects so not a big loss for me. Those" Chunky Tracks", as Ad called themHERMAN BIX wrote:Good colour, I will give it a go.

A short run in the kitchen. The high pitch Tamiya whine from the DMD is not present when I increase the volume just a bit.

Re: Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV
So this one is getting close. I've added the blue gears to the elevation and traverse units, the TBU is installed, I've put a brown wash on the tank and covered it all with flat clear. Now for some bits of detail like chain, rope, barbed wire, will come in time. I'm always curious as to where Tamiya puts the on/off switch in their kits, this time it is the fire extinguisher.

Re: Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV
Love the ambush scheme, really starting to come together now.
I've just ordered a new tank but not this one unfortunately.
