Early Jagdpanther

By Russ Takashima
Started: May 9, 2007
Updated: Dec 6, 2007

My goal is to convert an early '70s Tamiya motorized mid-Jagdpanther into an early Jagdpanther in Normandy 1944 with a full interior, photo etch, new track, turned barrel, etc. Essentialy add almost every single after market part on to the model. I am also planning on adding figures and putting the model in a diorama.

Time to Add Some ColourNov 6, 2007
The interior has been completed, so it's time to finish the exterior. First the exterior was brush painted in a cheap craft store black acrylic paint. Next a base coat of dunkelgelb with an Aztec airbrush. I used Tamiya Dark Yellow (XF60) with Tamiya Flat White (XF2). I made it much lighter since I know the weathering will make it darker. I kind of did a post-shading paint job, but very little of the black shows through. The chassis has already been painted, hence why some parts are masked off. Next up is the camo. Also the roof plate has not been glued in place. It's just taped in for painting.
