So far I have about 3 days on the Jagdtiger conversion and it is a slow go.
I am doing more altered remakes than building
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
I do have:
Main hull box built w/dove tails
Mantlet 90 %
front gun mount 90%
I stretched the upper hull 20 millimeters. Actual measurement should be 22.22 millimeters.
22 millimeters is close enough. 22 mils is a tiny bit short of 7/8 th's of an inch.
When scaling things it is so much easier using the metric system.
I will make the splice and mould / pour it to go with the kit.
For you guys who are actually buying the Jagd should I cut and splice together the parts or can you modelers do it ?
The alteration is somewhat easy
1. Cut upper hull across the center of the turret ring.
2. Add 22mil stretcher splice ( supplied in the kit )
3. Cut the sides and add 22 mill stretcher splice ( supplied in kit )
4. Add the 22 mil stretcher to the back of the floor piece.
I will try to add pics but last time I tried I had problems. Photobucket changed their format and I could not down load pics

I added another post because the Tiger II post was getting long in the tooth.
Please do not forget to add thoughts on the splitting hull situation.
