Lovely looking jagdtiger Monica you've really done it proud,tell me did you have to upgrade the gun barrel ? ,Im sure I read somewhere that when they took the measurements of the tank to make the model moulds they based it on the one in the Aberdean Proving Grounds not realising that the gun was in full recoil makeing the barrels too short.
ta Kevin,much appreciated comments so glad your liking it,so far,
that is one bit of info I,did not come across ,I do think that it is set to be in
recoil position,going by the gap around the barrel ,to where it dose slot in,
so what I did was move it out about 5mm to 8mm,giving it the more length,
ready to fire,and was just hopping I,did not do it wrong lol,

Early Jagdtiger kits did indeed get the barrel length wrong. The example at Aberdeen was abandoned by its crew & they had drained the recoil cylinders before discharging the gun, leaving it in a fully recoiled position.
Modern kits have rectified this error, so your one should be ok Monica.
What you want is about 2mm of the tapered section of the barrel within the mantlet. The one they have at Aberdeen shows nothing of the tapered section, just the barrel.

ta for the info Patrick,Im,always leaning some think new,about each build,which is of
great help,and very handy info to know as well,
I do think i should be ok,with the barrel,as it is placed just about how you say,but
one thing I cannot move it again as its glued,
but should be fine,
ta Phil,so glad your liking it so,
yes yes,if you did say about the tracks,but once I found out,about them and how Patrick over come that part,
I was right,some times just need to know how others have handheld that type of thing,
and I know oh no fiddy ,tracks but I like the look of them over serpent tracks any day,lol,
