Torro Jagdtiger

[stian sollie]

Been running my Stock Torro Jagdtiger for a while now , but desided I wanted to make it more 'mine'
Removing skirts and New Paint job Down the road .

Skirts coming of , now That involves a bit of hack'n slash , and some work With sheets of evergreen , not my strongest side but here is how I did it .





With fenders of, time to remove the last strip of molded plastic. Also this is the part that needs filling inn later

[stian sollie]

With that removed, time to fill in the gaps












I would have liked to have 1 mm on the outside, but my LHS was out, so it had to be 0,5mm

This is out of my comfy zone , and I would think this small job is a no brainer for all that have been a little into evergreen sheet work , but I have to take my time not f... it up ;D

Side plate cut to shape and holes for Tools/cables etc are drilled



Add a few Ludwig parts

Paper cut out's for test fitting

Would item not have been beter to include the superstructure tot the sideplate?
This was 1 single plate on the real machine

As it as stated in top of this topic:
<<This is out of my comfy zone , and I would think this small job is a no brainer for all that have been a little into evergreen sheet work>>

This guy is probably working with evergreen for the first time. Needs to learn.

Until now not bad result at all.

True true Reiner , a mistake by me . but Lucky only 0,5mm used for side plate , so the small gap between upper part and side wall will not be so noticable.. I will fill it With mud

[Reinier Zwanink]

What you canon also do is apply aan 0.5mm sheet tot the top part and fill the line beween the 2
Is a bit more work but looks far better that way

I will look into it . Maybe when I put top back on , it will not feel right without change that also.

BTW, on photo, the top super struckture is not 'snapped' into Place , only resting on top loosly ,
