Jagdtiger late production

[HamilkarBarkas]

Hi folks!

I made this model two years ago. It is the rather old Dragon kit of the late production Jagdtiger with the "Transportketten" (transport tracks) mounted on the running gear. The model is built out of box.
These narrow tracks were used for transporting the tank on railway wagons because the usual tracks were too wide. In the last days of the war the crews did not bother too much about the tracks and went into battle without changing them.
The model is painted with the anti-rust colour over all, then i applied some dark yellow camo. Those tanks rolled out of the factory and sometimes no camo was applied at all, but usually the crew was able to apply at least some minimal camo like i did here.
MIG and Vallejo pigments were used for the weathering. Because this tank saw not much action before the overall weathering is quite subtle.

That is a work of art .

Great idea to show it at the end of the war rolling off the production line.

It's so good it could be mistaken for a museum replica .

Cracking build mate love the idea of it being just rolling in to action straight from delivery.

Very very nice.
I just finished reading a walkaround for the Jagdtiger and it described the process you mentioned almost exactly.
I love how you just popped it right to life.

Thank you all very much

Did you YouTube this build by chance?

No, i made no building review about this one, i made the kit before i started to make those kind of videos.
However, i made a video about the finished model, i´ll post it right now.
