Now I'm getting greedy..HL JagdPanth build

Post by cashybai »

Mmmmm...Not finished the Tiger yet, saw this and couldn't resist....

Previous owner started, so lot of work already done, Early Jag, need to do the mantel mod but much is already done for me. Needs upgrading to 2.4 innards and I might change the recoil unit over, but we'll see..It's on hold until the Tiger's done anyhow, but I've just pinged an order into Dave ready to get started...
The addictions getting worse... Pantiger, WSN Tiger Mid, WSN T34....And now a Jagdpanther...HELP!!!

More than one project at once is what keeps the mojo flowing. And the JP is a great topic to work on :thumbup:

Thanks lads, awaiting some reference bits but I know I've gotta scratch build the rear tow hook, and mug Dave for a set of the early four pipe exhausts....

Hey there, you have already done a lot of mods. Also on the gun mantle you cut the bulb. Now, the shield is still a bit off in shape. You might think about resculpting. That is straight forward with for instance apoxie sculpt or something like that and really improves the overall look.

That's the next job Soeren, few mill off the top of the mantle & reshape it somewhat. I've seen the other posts, this was a work in process at a price I couldn't resist! I've a load of bits on the way, plus a couple of reference books to sift through, I'll be looking a it being a post D-day Normandy/france based Jagd, luckily the Imperial War Museum isn't a million miles away from my work, so I'll be able to nip down and look at the early they have there whenever I need some inspiration.
