Jagdtiger from Takom made by Anton

[antonintony]

Hi there, right now I´m working on the Jagdtiger from Takom in 1/35 Scale. I started with this kit on Febuary 2021 and im still on it :-)
Hope you enjoy my Progress so far:


The Kit is pretty straight forward to build


The welds on this Kit was actually pretty good, but i mostly make my own Welds :-)


Some Texturing with Tamiya Putty




A little Size comparison with an Pz.Kpfw.1 Ausf. C :-)


welding with Tamiya Epoxy Putty


Photo Etch Parts by ABER


of Course: Friul`s :-)


Some Details needed a little rework


Construction finished!


Black One-Shot-Primer

Colours where mixed by myself. Not really satisfied with the end result, but it will do the job.


Color Modulation with Oil-Paints


Wheels got chipped and this Thing has a lot of them...

More Chipping and first Detailpainting


Hours of chipping later.....


Chips n Chips



Thats where i am right now. I don´t have the time to build my Models constantly. Thats why I´m working
so long this one. I will update this Thread as soon as make some Progress! I Hope you had a good Time watching my WIP-Jagdtiger.
Ask and write me if you want! Happy modelling!

That's very inspiring, what type of tool do you use to create your wonderful weld texturing ? Truly awesome !

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Great work.

Fantastic creation of the welds on the tank, Antonin. The welds looks very convincing, when viewed near, or far.
Is there any advantage of replacing the original barrel to the current one you are using?

Thank you! I use just an old Photo Etched Part that i simply bend t a small U-Profile.

Hello, thanks a lot. The original Barrel comes in two halfes. I don't like that so much. That's the reason why I replaced it with a Aluminium Barrel from Aber.

Good-looking model

One thing I’m wondering about, though, is the red primer around the edge of the hatch: if the inside of the hatch was sprayed off the vehicle, or when it was open, it would be all-over dark yellow; while if the hatch was primered and then put onto the vehicle before that was painted as a whole, the inside would not be dark yellow and there would be a red primer outline of the hatch on the hull as well …

Good Evening Folks,
so I had a little spare time over the weekend and i made the best out of it :smiling5:
I finally managed to finish the chipping process :thumb2:. This part was really time consuming and i almost lost my patience here.
But at the end all the hard work and all the time i put into all those small chips will pay out!
Especially after the weathering step... most of the chips will be hidden :rolling::thumb2::tears-of-joy:.











So that´s all for tonight. I wish you all a good start into a new week!

I can see the Dogs being awarded ( Ask Allen about this )
