Yet Another newbie with a Jagdtiger coming to the US

Post by Dave Ruiz »

Well I stopped looking and went for it. I just bought a Jagdtiger from Armortek.

I build mostly RC submarines, 1/32 and 1/48 scale. This will be my first tank build. So I will be asking a lot of questions and watching youtube video.

I will be taking my time on this build. As for the Jagdtiger, before you ask, I didn't know they had any left, they didn't have any listed on the web site. I had planned on buying a Panther G, right before I was going to buy it, I asked when and if they were going to make more jagdtigers. They said no right now they were not going to make more, but that they did have one in stock.

So i bought it.

Great pick up Dave . It goes to show it don't hurt to ask .. I have a new one as well still in boxes . I would recommend building it yourself , just do lots of test fitting and concentrate on one section at a time don't look to far ahead . Dale
