This kit comes with two 1-piece barrels. I assume one is meant for the G2 2-piece barrel but it's included as it's on the sprue:

This kit is on my wishlist, and has become pretty hard to find for reasonable money. Can't wait to see it come together.

Is this a tank for old retired soldiers? Hence the reason they included the Zimmer-it-frame?!

Wheels are done:

Along with the suspension and hull:

I needed a break from sanding wheels so I put the Alpine figure together. A quality piece, it fell together in a couple of minutes. There will be more Alpine figures in my future:

So, still working through the hull tools and attachments:

That's the early one-piece barrel BTW.

This Jagdpanther's seen plenty of fighting, and has managed to bounce to incoming rounds:

Image

The Zimmerit was removed with a Dremel.

Image

Hopefully the driver had a change of underwear nearby. Pesky Shermans...

Fenders were damaged as well:

Do you get the feeling he's looking into your soul and doesn't quite like what he sees?

Thanks guy!

The zimmerit really needed the wash, it's kind of subtle on this model.

Now that looks like a Jadgpanther Nick.
That camo is excellent work bud, now that the moud is on it's all coming together.
Nice picture of General Patton.

Thanks. I use tamiya paint and baking soda for the thick mud.

But the helmet has Master Sergeant (IIRC) stripes and is on a goat.

Patton was much more of a Jackass.

Re: Jagdpanther Early with Zimmerit

Ive used baking soda exactly the same way many times. It's great for stuff like mud. mud and snow too.
You're absolutely right.
Jackass it is. :th:
