Jagdtiger build

Post by David Brady »

Hi,
I bought a partially built jagdtiger of Ebay a few months back. Since owning this model I have added the motion packs with the exception of the elevation and made various tweaks.

Model has been built to a good standard. I have added some cast texture and parts from the main man Steve Winstone.

Hello David,

Another superb Model you have built.
From the 1st photo there are nice door locking mechanisms of the casemate. Are they self-made or from Steve Winston / Sascha Hornbach ?
Any more details photo ?

Cheers,
Lerh Chang

Hi Chang
The rear doors had been completed by the previous owner. unfortunately these were a printed part so the likelyhood of me breaking these was high. Now for the good news! Steve Winstone is currently making these from steel.

I’d be interested in this, and also the aerial mount above the casement doors, I intend to make in the future unless someone can print one for me.

Hi All,

A few pictures of Steve Winstone Jagdtiger rear door detail made from steel. Steve will need your rear doors to complete this work. I suggest anyone with a Jagdtiger reach out and book them in.

Rubber seal fitted by me with retaining pins to complete.
