Re: Remove the gun from mantlet on Jagdtiger

Post by FredtheFrench »

Sorry. I forgot to post pics, but I will do!!!

I need some help for an other thing about this jagdtiger. The previous owner glued the rear panel of the jagdtiger, but It was broken and I broke it more to remove them.

Somebody can help me and give me measures of the rear panel, like the pic? I need to order a new one, but I want to be sure, beacause I ordered parts for KT for my Jagdtiger, but it is not the same. For this rear panel, I want to be sure.

Thanks for help and have a good day.

Fred. :thumbup: :wave:

No, it is for a Torro jagdtiger, but before order one, I want to be sure the rear panel from a Heng long king tiger, can be use on a jagdtiger. I think it is the same, but I prefer to be sure! For this reason, I need the measures, to compare, with the original but broken, from my jagdtiger.

Thanks to Jofaur, but measures are from his Jagdtiger. I need to know if it is the same to buy a rear panel from heng long king tiger.

Nobody had a Heng Long king tiger to compare? :'(

Here's the best I can do, just in case it's some help to you. I do not have a HengLong Königstiger. However, here are the measurements from my Taigen Königstiger. These should be the same as the Torro Königstiger and are likely the same as the HengLong. Maybe someone else can help, too. (Disclaimer: even with magnification lenses, my eyes have trouble with units as tiny as the millimeter. :( )

It's already huge, to have taken the time to help me. Your measures are the same than Jofaur86. I think I will order a rear panel for Heng Long. Like you and Jofaur, I think (and I hope), it is the same panels!!!

Again, thank you very much... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :wave:

Hello Fred, :D
yes, I have the same concerns as Her professor, with age I find the mm on a rule :O smaller and smaller ?? Fred, for having discussed with Franck last night, he also thinks that Torro, Taigen or HL is the same :thumbup:
