Yurii Prystai Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 WIP. Hull is assembled. Breech of gun is assembled 🎉 It was a long pause. But I did some steps in assembling. I glued a whole hull of Jagdpanther. It was like Lego)) But in the upper armor plate appeared a small gap. I'll create on this place a weld seam and all will be good) Changes on the hull: - Cutted off the plastic on the sides of the hull - I will create it from Voyager in the future; - Plastered places for fastening additional tracks. It will be created also from voyager photo-etched; - Cutted plastic seams. I'll change it with seams from Tamiya epoxy putty; - Cutted off the mudguards; - Deepened the welds places on the armor. I will make new ones from Tamiya epoxy; Other changes: - Assembled lifting jack - Assembled gun breech. It is a pity that it will not be visible. - Other parts which I didn't glue to the hull, because I'll make a cast armor on them. Also, I assembled a few parts from voyager. It was difficult without soldering iron, but it can be created very well with cyanoacrylate. It needs experience. Photo report🙂 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurii Prystai Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 My first armor texture 🎉 The armor turned out well. I am 90% satisfied) It was an unsurpassed experience and no theory would be as useful as trying to do it with your own hands. I am sure that the next model with the armor texture will be well done at 100%. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice work, the texturing looks great and the metal work is super clean and tidy. 👍 And these metal parts also took a lot of nerves from me))) The exhaust pipes had to be protected by metal parts. But I did not manage to fix them well and adjust to the dimensions. So I decided to pretend that the protective covers were torn off and only the fasteners remained 🤪 (Metal squares) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I have two metal exhaust covers to fit on a Sturmtiger so I may have to do the same if I struggle.😀👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurii Prystai Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Unfortunately, there is not much time for scale modeling in a country that was attacked by the country-aggressor russia, but our country is fighting and we are trying to live despite all the difficulties💪 It was very long pause, but there is some progress: - a copper cleaning rod was made. It was my first experience with hand-made metal parts. It turned out terrible, but I don't think it will be noticeable on the model at all. In order to make the bad result less noticeable, I damaged the cleaning rod. - installed a headlight with minimal modification - accessories and pioneer tools from photo etching - 🎉installed a horseshoe on the tank🥳 - found in a friend a metal barrel for jagdpanther👀 - made cloth from Tamiya epoxy putty (Quick type) 🥳Jagdpanther is now assembled and the painting phase can begin. All photos of assembled model I will add later⏲️ 🤯 Difference between plastic and photoetched parts is incredible: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
