Jagdpanzer IV SSIG...?

[Guest]

Thanks Ian, I'll sort that out in a bit.

Let's go for it Ian! We'll just make it a Jagdpanzer SSIG, rather than limiting it to those based on the Panzer IV
Welcome aboard

I can get a jagdpanzer IV if thats the specific kit your wanting for this SSIG Patric.

No I'm cool with other variants Ian - I've opened it up to all types of German tank destroyers, so your Hetzer is fine. If you fancy doing a Jagdpanzer IV, that's up to you.


Cheers

Well I'll stick with the Hetzer, I've allways wanted to build one.

Had a quick look at my Stash would you accept a Dragon Elefant? if not I'll just do the Tamiya Hetzer

Richard, I'm going to say no to the Elefant. As much as I'd like to see it built, and although it is technically a tank destroyer, I'm looking more for the types that were converted from existing vehicles.


The Hetzer will still be a nice build

Not a Problem Patrick Had to ask have had both in the stash for awhile

This SIG has been doing my head in. I was convinced I had a Jagdpanzer IV in the stash but when I searched for it, I couldn't find it. I did however find a STUG I didn't know I had.


Then, for a couple of days, it has bugged me as I remember starting to put Zimmerit on something. Thinking it must have been my Panther, I let it go.


This afternoon I went in the shed for something and saw the box for the panther. Wondering how well I had managed the Zimmerit trial, I dug it out to have a look. Nope! All pristine and unopened. Had a further dig about and at last found the elusive Jagdpanzer and yes, this is the one I attempted Zimmerit on.


Not a bad kit, comes with a bit of photo etch and an aluminium barrel. Indi link tracks as well. I did wonder if it was a re box of some other kit but, according to Scalemates, it came out around 1994, was rebooted by Zvezda and then by Testors before Italeri added extra and new parts and a new box in 2011.


I must admit, I thought I was going bonkers, not that finding what I thought was there means I am not, but it helps.........


I appreciate that having started it excludes it from the SIG but here it is anyway.














I believe that the Zimmerit trial was Milliput and the Trumpeter roller type tool.

Stick it in the SSIG Graham! Robert has a Tamiya L/70 that's partially built and I said that was ok.


It's only an unofficial GB so my word is law

Oooooo, I don't need telling twice. Cheers Patrick...... Ah, that means I have to finish the Zimmerit..... Bugger
