Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Some build instructions.
Use the small triangle brackets to attach the side skirts
Bracket for round hatch glues on
use this bracket to lock into place on hull
Large hatch parts glue on the same way
small view scope goes onto square hatch on the dark spot I put on it
front clip I darkened the spots where these two parts glue on
rear wheel takes the larger headed pin, there are two provided for the back wheels
More soon and if need any help just let me know.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Thanks for the instructions, Aracula!
How does the gun barrel mount inside the hull? There is a screw with nut and washer on it, but I can’t see anywhere that it’s supposed to be screwed into... Thanks again!

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Gun barrel screws onto this part.
Really didn't need the ability to slide up and down but just affix in a location that suits you for barrel movement up and down.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
If I missed a part just pm me and will get it out asap. I try not to, but some times I might miss something.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Thanks Aracula! The gun barrel mount wasn’t in the upper hull section I got... Is it a separate piece? If so, I’ll look in the bags of parts tonight to see if it’s there and PM you if I need it.
Also, how are the L/70 gun conversion parts coming? Thanks again.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Yeah it is a separate piece you glue in. I am working on the L70 conversion parts will get them done asap. Keep you updated.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Great thanks! I still haven’t decided if I’m going to do the L/70 or L/48 variant, but want to have both parts just in caseAracula wrote:Yeah it is a separate piece you glue in. I am working on the L70 conversion parts will get them done asap. Keep you updated.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Aracula, not sure what happened, however, none of your pictures of the Jagdpanzer assembly are showing up... Can you fix this? Thanks!

Thanks

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Tried painting one of the Jagdpanzer L70 kit. I am still learning as I go.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Gonna sell it, needing to raise funds for the 429.00 amount for molding material. Gonna ask 230.00 for it as very limited amount out in the public as the kit did not go over good.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Aracula, your Jagdpanzer looks great
I stalled on building mine, but your pics inspire me to get back into it!
BTW, do you have any spares for the gun lock part for the L/70 version? Thanks

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Still a bit of work left to do, but my Jagdpanzer IV L/70 kit from Aracula is finally coming together now. The basic paint job is done and I just finished the decals. Next I’ll be sealing the decals and then onto the weathering, tracks, and final assembly.
I’m painting my Jagdpanzer in the markings of the vehicle tank gunner Johann Huber served in from the 7th Panzer Division in Hungary, 1945. This veteran gained some celebrity after he was featured at Dragon Expo DX05 in 2005. I only had the left side profile as well as pics from a couple full builds of the Dragon 1/35 scale kit to serve as references, so a lot of the camo patterns are conjecture. It was likely the Jagdpanzer had a late war hard-edge camouflage scheme, which presented the chance to try out the silly putty masking method. That actually worked pretty well!
More updates to come as I finish the project
