Autumn is Jagdtiger time :mrgreen:

I do a few weldlines and also started to make the castingsurface on the drive wheel.

Thanks Dale!

I started to build the electronics. The board is from 8mm PVC. I also made the Airtank mounts from PVC.

Hi Folks,

I finished the travellock A-Frame with some weldings. I also worked on the drivers hatch and noticed some differences with the original. So I made some CAD work to compare the measures and shapes from the original blueprints and images of 331 in the states. I decited to rebuild the complete frontplate with the gearplate and the two hatches. Next step is to build the bolts and some other details. More to come....

regards

Sascha

Last days I build all the boltscrew imitations from brass. The hatches get angled edges, lifting hooks and the hatchstopper are also done. I rebuild the drivers scopeholder from original blueprints. Next step is the turning part of the scopeholder and the cover above it.
