Rusty's Jagdtiger

[Rusty Ratliff]

Here is what I will be entering in the group build. I will be using the DML kit Fruiel Model tracks and making the zimmerit (hopefully). The rest of the kit will be built straight out of the box. It will be few weeks before I can start it, I have a group build I am going to start for my model club next week. I will keep you posted with picks.

don't worry about the zimmerit, it's not that difficult to apply!

i'm really looking forward to your jagdtiger!

I finally got started on this beast today, and I am in serious need of some reference material. Does any one know of a good book or even better a web page that has some pics of the Jagdtiger up close. Thanks Rusty

Well Rusty, you could use this: http://www.primeportal.net/tanks/dmitry_kiyatkin/jagdtiger/
And the old Google search gives you some good WWII era photos too.

Take care.

Here is my first in progress pic. I got a little time to work on this this morning before church. This is my first attempt at applying Zimmerit. I got a little out of alignment behind the where the exhaust pipes go. Is that alright or does this stuff have exact patterns? Does Zimm. even go behind the exhaust pipes? I would appreciate your comments and advice. If you see something that is wrong please let me know. Thanks Rusty
