Check this video out, should help!
Thank you very much. This is great inspiration.
I had considered relocating tools and the cleaning rod tube but after some research I saw that these modifications were unit specific and since I wasn't trying to emulate a historical unit I would skip tha.
What thickness of styrene did you use for the hull/ I wasn't ready for this yet but I do have .40 styrene sheets that I'm using for shurtzen.
Where did you source the outer Tamiya wheels and Mantlet assembly? The wheels I didn't care so much about, I know you mentioned them before but I figured since I was doing the shurtzen this time that the wheels could wait.
The Mantlet assembly was more of a concern for me. But at this point it will have to wait for my next Jagdpanther. As well I wanted a more accurate Gun. The gun i tried to ask around about but didn't get much response.
The gun should be exactly the same as the King Tigers but unfortunately it is not. It's a mix of the KT and Panther G's Gun. Not as big as the KT's gun but not 1 piece like the Panthers. Again I'm going to work on the KT gun in the Jagdpanther with flash and smoke for my next build.
Now to your "Magic Grime" that looks like a great product I'll have to get in my hands to try. Does it have to be applied with the hairspray and white wash first of do you just put it on any basecoat for weathering? It looks like it would cut down on my weathering process.
The way it is shown used reminds me of how the miniature crowd and warhammer peeps started using AK Streaking Grime.
Ahh baby Jagdpanther steps...
Thanks for the support.
