Re: Jagdtiger No.41 in Germany
First parts arrived yet and everything fits. Not much space around, but it should work. I am on detail solutions now.

Re: Jagdtiger No.41 in Germany
I must be completely mad 
After a long building Weekend the new gun elevation is ready. A few parts could be recycled, but a lot are new. The elevation is now beside the mounting, to get space for the recoil stuff. All moving parts are a bit stronger now, to absorb the forces better. To lead the recoil mechanism I use a rail for 3D Printers or CNC machines. I also modified the Cylinder to get the exact length of 145mm recoil way later. Hope this works.... 
In pic 3 you can see the Compressor, the Airtank and the 2/3 way Valve.

Small Update, it grows 
Sometimes I feel that I build a real 12.8cm gun...

Beautiful work you do.
Follows this with great interest I want to do something with my recoil in my Tiger One.

Thanks for your kind words! If anyone need the 3D Files, let me know. I use SolidWorks and will share all the Parts I drawed yet.

Re: Jagdtiger No.41 in Germany
Hi,
last days I felt like building an atomic Reactor....
The LiFePo Powerpack will have 30Ah and 26V. Next step is to connect the balancer cables and power cables to the Connec plug.

Re: Jagdtiger No.41 in Germany
Hi Sascha,
why did you use 10 Ah cells to reach 30 Ah? 8 rectangular cells would be some easier to wire and would need less space, I mean.
This is my battery for the Jagdtiger. Low height (due to the huge recoil) and 36 Ah at 26 volts.

Hi Gerhard,
the reason is that I already had this cells from other not realized projects. If I had to buy new cells I agree with you.

Re: Jagdtiger No.41 in Germany
I have done it the Gerhard way, but I think the Sascha approach is still cool. It allows you to split the pack up and custom fit into your model. Finding enough space for the large monoliths is quite difficult.
On top of that, we have now seen a very safe way of encapsulating the terminals, so that nothing can get to them. First class!

A little too much is about right...

Re: Jagdtiger No.41 in Germany
Last days I´d liked to do some detail work and started to build the engine and engine compartment. I use a half HL230 because there is not more to see unter JT hatch. The side walls and firewall are from 1mm epoxy-glass. I used the Tiger 2 drawings to find the positions for the lines and hosepipes. I also detailed the armor covers for airintake and the sealing holder if the hatch is opened.
