The tow hitch looks great, (really makes a nice change from what you usually see), and you did a fine job in fitting it up! Thank YOU for allowing me to contribute to your build!

Thanks Mr fury, the Germans still make the best toys/models and this tow hitch is another example.
Thanks to Mr Sassgrunt's very purist dedication to his Tamiya's, I have had a lucky break indeed.

You're right, it really will/does add to the backside of the KT hull.
I'm pretty proud of the multi-national input this build has bought on, lower hull- Maryland, tow hitch-Hawaii,barrel support-Scotland(via Germany not arrived yet)and the donor tank from the boot(trunk) of a car ,owned by a Kiwi ,living in Australia !!
Long way to go yet..................

I love the Jagdtiger I so want one but as I've bought 3 this month already , maybe next month then I really do have to draw the line. This is stunning tank and seriously well detailed great work Herm

Thanks Mr Spartan, but the old adage "quit - while you're ahead" seems to be an apt phrase for you just now mate !!
You have more going on than a Beirut Bricklayer with your list growing longer !
I have a few more tasks to sort out on the lower before I move to the upper hull...........and that part of the project is going to keep me on my toes like a dwarf at a urinal !
The cut-n-tuck, the barrel recoil system, the electronics, rear hatch...........loads of stuff ahead.
What I really need is a hedged fund based in GBP or Euro so I can just skip the exchange rate & buy what I like without leaving skids in my strides :eh: :haha:

I will watch this very closely as this will be a stunner Herm, lol at Beirut bricklayer very true though as I'm still working on a T34 and little bits on the KTs still and the Hooben Elefant in the box unopened and then I saw this full metal Taigen Panther F so bought that aswell my bad .

What? Cutting (Jagd)tigers in half - are you trying to get a show in Las Vegas?
