The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

hi all

Decided to take my JagdPanther for another travel

Going to make the outside overhaul also - during the fall I made the internal overhaul and was quite happy with it, so being in the overhaul mode, now is the time for the outside parts

First I removed the old weldings - grinded the aluminium parts so it should look like a sttel cut and added Mr. Putty around it
Next is to make the surface on the fighting room more "steel" look alike by adding some structure padding

pictures will come

Looking good Steen. By the way, what happened to your hull MG? It looks as thought it's designed to fire around corners......

Best regards

Stephen

Hi Stephen

haha - yep that's right, its the newest in gun development

Well - case is that the part is detachable and I simply just haven't put it into place yet

cheers
Steen

all the Work with the welding is now finished. Also the top of the fighting compartment have been grinded with sandpaper to get it 100% correct alligned to the front glacis. Earlier it stood up appx 2 mm.

The tank is now primed in basic color Red-Brown and Next step is to build up the color scheme layer to layer

cheers
steen

Periscope is now drilled out and ready for installation of the inside parts

It is coming along nicely Steen and yet another scale detail added to the tank.
I am looking forward to seeing the finished result .

now the 3 layer cammo is sprayed and the next part is to spray with a lighter tone followed by weathering

hi all
finished the project and the jagdpanther is now painted and weathered as well as the suspension is adjusted with now torsionbars on the front 2 roadwheels on each side

Looking good Steen always nice too see a Jagdpanther.

Steen,
Excellent makeover. Really nice paint. I'm jealous - would love to have a JP.
