Jagdtiger

Has anyone found the new 21st century Jagdtiger in Wal-Mat yet?

Yes, I found one along with one King Tiger at a local Walmart here on Long Island. I'm into 1/18th but these are must have tanks if your an armor guy. Very nice models.

They are here in Northern CA as well. Both the Jagdtiger and the Kingtiger.

there are 1 to 2 of each in the atlanta walmarts I frequent, more 1/32 leftovers also, all the unassembled tank kits, most infantry/tank kits, wirbel..mobil...panzer iv...

I haven't had the luxury of viewing these beauties in person, but from the pictures I've seen the Jagdtiger and the King Tiger seem to be the same length. Now correct me if I'm wrong, I am in need of a bit of a refresher on my panzer facts(hard to believe huh!), but isn't the Jagdtiger chasis/hull supposed to be something like 18" longer than a King Tiger's. I don't know if that would transfer into any noticable difference in 1/32, but I'm just wondering if 21st took the extra step and made it a bit longer.

yes the hull was a bit longer to accomodate the huge gun.....and no 21c didn't incorporate this feature into their model. It's rare that any model maker does; it's a lot of retooling expense for a minor change (in their eyes). In fact i'm not sure that any maker of a Jagdtiger in any scale has incorporated this subtle, but somewhat noticable length change.

If it was an 18 inch length increase that would be a hair over half an inch difference in 1/32.
