Jagd Tiger that is:



One side with the cavilier zimmerit applied.I will mount the kit fenders in front,leaving the last section off.So I have removed the zim in the way in front,but left the zimm and mounts at the last section.On this side.The other side will have full fenders.



Here I go again!

I have had this kit since shortly after its initial release.
For aftermarket,I have A Jaguar interior,of which I may use elect parts.And the ubiquitous Jordi Rubio barrel.I will compare it as construction goes along with the Henschel version,which I also bought years ago.I believe this one will need a power cable to the headlight,and in typical Dragon forgetfulness,I will have to make my own towcables.

You are one fast builder Tank Carl!!
Okay on the zim did you use the generic sheet or one made for this model?
I have the generic sheet one and plus a few others from them! (++)

This is using the specific jagd Tiger sheet from Cavilier.I noticed it is longer than the superstructure.So I roughly center it,and trim the excess.Generic seems to match the lines on this ,so you should be OK.I pity you texturing the rear panel though.

Coming along quite well so far ...These big cats are fun to build...Can I ask why you didn't leave off the zimmerit on the back part where you will have the missing fender ?? I would have cut it off the same as the rest ...I'm sure that the fender went missing after the application of the zimmerit ..Just a thought ..

Looks good so far. What did you use to attach the Cavalier Zimmerit ? I have a Tamiya Sturmtiger I'm working on, and I'm about to go for it on the Cavalier.

Keep the pics coming !

Cheers !

I use super glue to attach the zim.Many people use epoxy,it gives time to position the panels.But I use a drop and slowly attach the zim a little at a time,and have had no trouble gluing as I go along.
