I picked up a second hand Taigen Jagdpanther with metal tracks. It's the BB version, my first non IR
Was a good price so I couldn't resist

It's an illness

Wow mate, I would almost leave the paint the way It is & do the basics. Replace those decals & youve got a winner out of the postmans bag !

I thought the same thing. It's not bad looking. New decals , couple of details here and there and some
Weathering should about do it!
Need to do some research I believe it's the later version?

Yip, 2 piece barrel and bolted gun shield the basic visual differences.
Someone has put the effort into that cam job, its very good on my screen.

This lot gives your tank some perspective as to just how damn good that paint is I reckon.

I'm not sure but I think that is one of the paint jobs Taigen have offered the jagdpather in:

Some of Taigens paint jobs are really very good, and don't need too much work to make them look great.
A very nice buy Mark, looks great but those H/L decals have to go

Well I'm sure you're going to do an Outstanding Job when you refinish her..Good luck taking out that eye... I had to hammer punch that sucker out on mine

............

....but overall an easy surgery ... used my plastic dust for filler... finished that one in minutes ( after a couple hours to take out the eye

)
