Default My Jagdtiger build.

Finally I've started on my next project. It's based on the KT with 540 motor and clutch system. This was replaced before I recieved it with brand new twinmotor trannys.
I was thinking of the Wecohe kit in the beggining, but I think it's to costy for a "low" budget build. Still I had to buy some parts from them as the chalotte, mantlet, gun barrel and minor parts.
And I know: the front deck sist too high, but I chose to let it be.

As I recieved it. It had all te fenders mounted.




Some Impact parts.


Extension of the hull.


Reinforced on the inside with aluminium plate and countersunk screws.




This had no inner fenders mounted, so I made some of 30x30x3mm angle alloy.




Plate for mounting all electronics made from 4mm alloy.


GRU bought on ebay. Had to grind down the output shaft from 4 to 2,3mm.


Gearbox strutbrace. No wobble anymore!


Had to make room for the MG and lightmount as they are sticking out on the innside.


Superstructure


Frontplate. Not quite finnished yet.




Drilled holes for the mounting bolts.


Re-routed the cable for the light.


Moved vent hat.


Filled the holes for the jack and jackblock. As the last ones didn't have that.
