JAGDPANZER IV, SS PzJ ABTEILUNG 9, OOSTERBEEK, 17TH DEC, 1944

Yeah well, all I can say is that denying history doesn't change it.

Ahh the loooove !

I took the saw to the poor HL upper and made a heap of mess but now at least the thing is actually starting to look like a Jagdpanzer 4.
The gearbox setting is important to the right look but I need the hull plates in position so I can ensure maximum height with no need to remove material from them.

It gets worse !

Or better!

[Herr Dr. Professor]

In the light of the recent discussion of the Milwaukee Sawzall and smaller reciprocating saws, what did you use to moidelate that upper hull? That looks like a lot of tricky sawing.

Well, that has certainly been Bixerated. I look forward to the completion.

[HERMAN BIX]

Bixerated
That’s an interesting analogy
Just going thru the motions of preparing the hull for the Casemate to be secured.
It will need a lot of retaining compound!

[Raminator]

It will need a lot of retaining compound!

Got half a tube in the garage if you want it!

[HERMAN BIX]

Hit a snag.
The gearboxes I have will not allow the hull to sit down where it needs to.
I will need to get some sort of low profile set like Mato ones, but that can’t happen for a while now.
Into storage it goes

[HERMAN BIX]

Only as I ramped the gearbox mounting area to raise the sprocket height.
