Does anybody know of a source or alternative for this version of the Sturmtiger beside Asiatam? Apparently they no longer produce them....

I've only seen scratch builds. I don't know of a kit available at this time.

Taigen is supposed to have both a plastic and metal version out sometime.

I want to get another one myself that and the Jagdtiger.

Think he's interested in the Jagdsturmtiger not the Sturmtiger.

Panther F

I know, but you must start somewhere and I think the Sturmtiger will be available before that other one is. Besides... making the longer cannon should be easily scratch built if you have a Sturmtiger to begin with.

The Sturmtiger is already available through Taigen. We have a metal and plastic version, but both have a plastic upper hull. The Jagdtiger is being worked on, and actively at that I will make sure to get my sample up as soon as I can ok?

Panther F

I am VERY interested in the plastic version of the Jagdtiger Erik! Hopefully we can see more of it.

Eventually 2 of them.

I usually get my demos a few months early, I will promise the instant I am given the go ahead I will post away. Sometimes we need to make a few changes before we display them. I had to go through 2-3 versions of the T34 to get it to a point where I was ready to show it off. The Sherman went a lot smoother and I expect future releases to be the same.

Have you seen the Beta yet?

Imex-Erik

I have seen a bit but I am not allowed to speak of it yet. It will be a few months before the OK is given to me before I can post on it.

TheBennyB

Hope you guys did your research and got the dimensions/angle's right unlike the Mato offering?

Imex-Erik

Yes The hull is already fixed I have been informed. That was one of the first questions I asked.

TheBennyB

There were other problems than just the hull dimensions, superstructure was way off as well. I hope they address those too. If so I can imagine alot of people grabbing a JT down the road.

Imex-Erik

The Jagdtiger and the Abrams are all I hear about lately... I wish they would both just release already!

Max-U52

You wish they'd release the Jagdtiger? Get in line, Buddy!! I've been waiting for this and an Easy 8 since the very first day I ordered my very first RC tank!

Imex-Erik

Yea I get so many questions like "When will you release xxx?" or "I want this paper tank!" It just drives me insane sometimes haha.

An Easy 8 would be very cool. That with HL's 105 would create my future USMC Korean War platoon (plus an HL M26 and M26A1).

Imex-Erik

Well if I had to push the bossman's buttons for one or the other which would you guys like more? I like the 17lb'er but the E8 is nice too...

philipat

Me...if modeling US tanks, I prefer to stay USMC. So, that would be the E8.

To get this thread back on track (partly my fault.) I found a pic of the only IR compatible Jagdsturmtiger I've come across at Danville. This was built by Bob (Sevo) of ETO armor I believe back in 2004 or 2005?

Cruiser133

I emailed the fine folks at Asiatam and they responded by relisting the kit!!! It is a bit pricey at 150 euro, but it is all metal and finely detailed....

TheBennyB

That's nice of them. You going to pull the trigger on it? If so, let's see some pics when you open the box, especially if the trunion is worthy and has both axis moveable.
