Well while I'm waiting on stencils for my Tamy Tiger I thought I'd make a start on my JT ,This morning I got it stripped ,sanded , glued and filled, and a base coat of dunkengelb,was a bit strange to find cracks in the hull but I have sorted that .
Bits removed::: cut out stock TORRO gun support ground back filled and sanded, I did not want to remove all the fenders 1 it's a pretty big job and also so many have Allready been done like this,
So I just removed the front fenders to toughen the look of the JT up.
So this JT is not going to be a massive build, Paint, Ludwigs Gun Support,Elmod Fusion Pro, Uprated Speaker, and some Uprated Gearboxs as these JTs are seriosly heavy, in time maybe swap over to servos.







SPOT THE CRACKS

I wish I had your painting skills
Looks great

I don't think I'm that skilfull, unless I have gained a few and just not noticed lol thanks,

Kind regards Andy

Looking fw to follow this one . as soon as my Panther is done , I'm all over my JT again. Got a few parts for also , while working on the panther. so eager to get it up and running .

what gearboxes are you thinking of installing ? Hope the elmod will support the DKLM-RC gearbox down the road (software support) , coz that's the best upgrade I've done to mine . Runs like hot knife in butter

Painting skills aside, I wish I had such a spacious and orderly working area! Mine looks like the aftermath of a hurricane hitting it. -Mike

Some days there just isn't enough room.

I saw the cracks up front. The Taigen/IMEX site has a "Scratch and Dent" section, I've seen three or four Jagtigers there with cracks in nearly the same place. You did a nice job on the repairs.

Just a little pre shading today it's a little heavy so will probably go over it again.

Wonder why they're cracking there?

Looking good!

The plastic there is very thin they need to go to a metal upper I think personally.
