LSP_K2 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 What a waste of a totally cool vehicle. I've got numerous photos of crew destroyed Jagdtigers, and they always make me sad. LSP_Matt and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawman56 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Is that the new 1:1 scale "cut-away" from Tamiya? LSP_Matt and Martinnfb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the Trumpeter kit is keyed in all the right places, so depicting a blown up vehicle is very doable, though would require a bit of cutting here and there, as determined by the extent of damage one might wish to depict. lawman56, LSP_Matt and Martinnfb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusionreigns178 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Apparently, most of the German crews hated the Jadgtiger with a passion and felt it was the wrong tank-destroyer at the wrong time. Also, it was so heavy that it found getting across soft ground very difficult. Having said all that, it's a fascinating AFV. Cheers. Chris.

LSP_K2 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Some folks may not realize that the keyed segments invariably had prominent gaps that were just filled with pass after pass of weld. Certainly strong enough for daily needs, but also created weak points when there was an internal explosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerrob Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hi guys, The Australian Armour and Artillery Museum are restoring/rebuilding a Stug and a Jagdpanther. They finished a Tiger 1 recently! In some video's you can see them welding together plates of the hull, and saying eaxactly what LSP_K2 said. I hope you guys will like these video's! Happy Holidays, Rob from Holland Martinnfb, D.B. Andrus and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Holidays, Rob from Holland The King Tiger and Jagdtiger, had very large gaps between the various keyed portions, as in no two pieces of metal actually touching each other prior to being completely filled with welds.

It's all butt joints and fillets on armoured slabs. There's a prototype Stug on the net that they have one of those tank chats on. The welds on it look truly hideous...like consistently awful...as though they didn't have enough amps to even run a decent bead. Others look really awesome. Nicely stacked stringers or weaves....but none of it CJP. Matty LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
