Great job! Weathering is very nice, I love the modulation that you did with the different sections. The chipping is very well done too.
Im loving the heavy german tanks that are being done these days, just need a sturmtiger now!

Great job the weathering is outstanding and the chipping looks execllent as well

Nattapong - I don't know much about the Jagdtiger, but your model is beautiful. Really, really nice. What did you use for the wet areas near the driver's position. Also, can you describe how you weathered the tracks?

Marvelous! What I find especially impressive about the weathering is that, if you copy these images as JPEGs and then enlarge them, they just look even more genuine! The dull glint of the metal at the edges of the tracks, the staining, chipping and pale trails of rust, the heavy wear on the central access hatch handle for the engine compartment, all look as you feel they should.

One of my favorite details is a tiny one: the misaligned placement of the top aiming stake on the left side of the tank. There are notches in place to store the two rods in parallel fashion. However, I imagine that the November wind and rain, the shouts and gunfire from approaching Red Army troops, and perhaps a touch of dysentery combined to convince the Panzer trooper who locked the rod down that getting them parallel really just didn't matter much any more!

Incidentally, an Armorama discussion five years ago questioned whether aiming stakes would have any place on a tank destroyer, or whether they should be finished as cleaning rods instead: http://tinyurl.com/732npck
I add this note for the purpose of completeness --- not to suggest that I have any knowledge on the subject one way or the other.

hi Nattapong,

I have seen lots of Jagdtigers finished in german dark yellow. and while they might look good they didnt look realistic. its difficult IMO to make something that big and that light of a color look realy interesting. you have pulled it of nicely. great job!

WOW Oishi ! This is one of the best tanks I have ever seen on Armorama ! IMHO the weathering & chipping, perfect !
Great photography too ! Thank you for sharing with us.

Real nice job with the one color scheme

Excellent choice using color modulation. I think this was really necessary for making a single color paint scheme stand out the way yours does. The calculated use of the white streaking really helps to enhance it as well.

If you ever have the opportunity to make a step-by-step log/feature displaying your painting process and techniques on one of your future projects it would be really beneficial to those of us who are still learning advanced painting and weathering techniques. Just something for you to consider if you're interested in it.

I agree with Jeremy. This is an awesome model and the paint and weathering is top notch. I would love to see a step by step on how you do this.

This is amongst the greatest models I have ever seen.

well done.

The is stunning work. It is one of the best armor models I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your work.

Same here! i would love to see a step by step. lots of great stuff to learn from you Nattapong!

Gary

+1 for another interested in seeing a step by step. Amazing work.

Cheers

Very nice model. The finish and weathering are outstanding.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Thank you for all comments. I am build and paint this kit with CM and my style not too strict to the historical or any reference for 100%. This is a model and I think no one can seen it in the real battlefield now. I use imagine and possibility to compose the components on the tank.

For the tutorial of painting that you friends request, I will make it and publish in my team site.
My team site is http://www.bustfactory.com and my team FB page is http://www.facebook.com/bustfactory
Thank you again.

PS. For the tutorial, I will post the link to our site tutorial page after I finish upload.

Great Kit .lovely finish. The cast tex on mantlet is spot on. Well done cheers Geraint

Regarding a tutorial, I am REALLY interested! I think the entire model is amazing, the weathering, incredible! In addition, someone said something in particular about the chipping, and I agree, the chipping/rusting edges at the welds and at the edges of the panels looks absolutely real. If I could learn how to do what you did on this model, I'd be a VERY HAPPY CAMPER!!! Great job!

I agree. I have never seen a model look so much like a big heavy hunk of steel. These pictures inspired me to get a Dragon Jagdtiger kit. Please do a tutorial for us mortals.

Beautiful work. I look forward to seeing more of your builds!!

Fantastic work, you have created an amazing piece of work. Thank you for sharing it. I am inspired

I have always loved this tank! the heavy Tank tread with the right sag! well done. the weathering and chipping is great like others have stated. I hope you Diorama this. That would really make it come to life!!

Oishi ... fantastic! Really nice! The tank is not too much nor too little aged and worn.
Superb!
The only thing that does not convince me too is the color of the extinguisher. From historic pictures, I always see that extinguishers that were fixed out were painted the same color of the tank or in neutral colors, while the fire extinguishers that were stowed inside were, in some cases, painted in red.
In your case, have you intentionally wanted to simulate that the crew has put out a fire extinguisher that was once inside?
Great!!
