I missed it too. That wouldnt be hard to do to my 90% complete Sturmtiger build. Anyone have an informed guess as to what the main gun is or where i could get a 1/16 one. It is the same as on a KT?

[Rivetcounter]

The tank is figment of modern imagination but looks good though, the main gun is from a Tiger II as is the loaders hatch and cupola

I thought that'd be a "Jagd" tank instead of a "Sturm" tank, looks more like a tank killer then an assault gun.

Ahh... so its not a true paper panzer then? a design of the time that didnt make it to the field. More like a bored 1/35 modeller thinking "I wonder what a Sturmtiger would look like with a King Tiger's gun barrel on it?"

hi all

the chap who built this jadg strumtiger . used the original pigs snout mantle and mated a tam king tiger mantle and used milliput to smooth out the difference

i my self am working on a third version of this prototype .... the three were the panther based jagdpanther ( which wone ths contest )  .. the sturmtiger and a panzer 4 .
the panzer 4 was a modified l70/A with a full sloped front glasics plate and the standard roof ... prototypes were built for all the above and tesetd all were built as tank destroyers

You hit the nail right on the head there Crispy, probably a member of a local model club who believes himself to be an expert on military history this tank is just like Trumpeters E100 ausf B another figment of a bored modelers imagination, challenge there authority and you will be met with scorn and contempt
