Hello All

I started with my jagdpanther after some busy weeks. I haven't got much time left. I will leave for a 4 month mission within 2 weeks.
The jagdpanther is an old italeri kit I had. It has been painted 3 times. I didn't like the colour or the airbrush I worked with. It really got out of hand so I stripped the paint of the kit bought an old PE set from eduard and decided to redo the model.
First picture is from the stripped kit and the tools I used to clean it.


I hope to post new pics soon. The back of the vehicle is now finished and Istarted with the engine deck. Haven't got those pics yet....

Cheers Roel

TANK SURGERY!!!

MAJOR TANK SURGERY

But things go well. I have my first 2 pics of the build up. I have a lot to do though. Any comment is welcome. There are pieces still not in place yet so be gentil.

Hello

I got a little further the past days. The left side is finished. No I need to do the right side.
Here is my update:


Let me know what you think

Cheers Roel

This morning I had a great idea
I had a unused breach from a tamiya Kingtiger somewhere. So what I will try next is to make that breach in the Italeri jagdpanther. Hope all works well at the end.



I hope to post some after pics

Still no answers huh

Well latest update:
I believe it's the build is complete for 95%. I just wonder if I should add side skirts. I still have those left from an italeri panther A. Otherwise I have to scratch 10 PE parts because the plastic bolts where the side skirts are hung up on are incorrect.
The main gun and upper and lower hull are not glued togheter yet.

The pictures:





The last pic you can see a little of the build in 88mm breach.

I have to questions with what I should do next:
1. Should I add skirts or not?
2. Please say if there is anything big wrong. So I can still change it before it gets painted.

Thanks in advance

Roel
