Re: Jagdpanzer IV
I have got it all molded out and am pouring the Jagdpanzer. Will ship out in order that I received from people.
Keep you posted.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Great to hear, Aracula! I’m excited to start building this
BTW, is your Jagdpanzer going to be an early L/48 variant with the shorter gun barrel or the later Vomag one with the longer L/70 gun? No worries either way, just curious, as I’m starting to research the paint scheme I want to do.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Well I could possible make a longer gun so people could have that option I guess.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
That would be cool, but stick with whatever is easier in your end.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Thanks Aracula! I’m perfectly OK with the L/48 variant as there are some good schemes I could choose from... But if you decide to do the bigger L/70 gun, let us know.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Side skirts wouldn’t be too difficult to make with some sheet styrene... A lot of the Jagdpanzer IVs seemed to have simple rectangular sheets that were mounted on brackets on the side of the hull as opposed to the more complex angled sheets mounted on separate racks as seen on the Stugs and Panzer IVs. Those simple shapes could be easily cut out from styrene with a good knife and a ruler

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
I've been using gift cards that I pick off the racks at the super markets for the side skirts for years. Easy to cut and glue. Bob

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Gift cards, thats something I've never thought of...sounds like a good idea.
I have used sheet styrene and a few times aluminum flashing for side armor.
Which ever you choose just don't go to thick.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
I have been pouring kits. Are you guys wanting side skirts also? I did not make any for this but guess I could if people wanted them.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Side skirts would be great, Aracula! Please include if you can... If not, no worries as I could make my own. I like Rylau’s idea of using card stock.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Me too. If necessary I´ll do the skirts by my own. Have you send my parts to Matthew?

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
No need for an apology, I've made molds and cast pieces in resign...nothing quick about it.
The kit looks very nice!

Will try to post a build instruction in a few days. It is not real complicated though to do.

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Aracula, those parts look fantastic and thanks for going through all the effort to make things so detailed! As you said, it looks like a fairly straightforward build as well... I’m eager to get started

Re: Jagdpanzer IV

Thanks

Re: Jagdpanzer IV
Molding the long barreled conversion for this kit so you can make either the 48 or the 70. Will be the barrel, the gun mantlet, and the different exhaust, and a cap for the one view hole.
Should be ready to go soon, if anyone interested.
Will post some pics when I get back home.
