Hello everyone !

This is my first post with pics ! So I hope they come out ok. So please tell me what you think . Its a 1/35 tamiya jagdpanzer IV L/70 . For the zim I used a hot knife " A soldering iron with a old knife blade attached to it. " I did not like the tracks the are one piece rubber band type and I messed them up ! Any hints and tips are appreciated !









Thanks!- Lee

Nice of you to get one up there Bones and welcome. I say you did a pretty ambitious zim job. It came out pretty well, though maybe a little smaller than scale. That must have taken a long time. Camo looks good. The two things that kind of stand out are the stowage on the rear. I imagine it would be tied down and to be honest, have seen stuff floating around on the rear of a Jagdpanzer, though I’m sure it could happen. Also, the extra links attached to the sides don’t work for me either, for they seem to be kind of floating there. Again no refs on my end, but perhaps you have some.

Thanks for sharing and since this would have qualified for our Hunters GB, you might want to poke your head in and join in the fun with another build.

Thanks for the feedback it is what I was looking for … The zim was a long process !! I read about it and wanted to try it . It took me like 2weeks or so just a couple hrs here and there when I had the free time ! As for the tracks on the side I was going to take them off but I did not want to have a glue spot showing … So I just left them on for the pics ! And the stowage I can always go back and fix . I took the time to time down the canteens on the side and the binos on the figures neck did not think about the stuff on the back . Now i’m not so nervous about posting other builds thank you !

thanks again !

Sharp build, I like the camo. I am close to building this same kit with PE and resin for the GB, how did yours go together, any problem areas? Yours turned out really nice!

Thanks Eric !

The kit was fun to build . The problems I had with mine was that when I went to fit the two hull pieces togeather they seem to be a little twisted but after a little patience and time it worked out . And the tracks they are the one piece band type that you have to melt or glue togeather they seemed to be a little short . Those are the problems I had with mine . But it was still fun !

[tup][tup]great job on the knife blade zim.i do’nt think you’ll see to many that are willing to go that route.my attempts at zim involved spot putty.this stuff bonds like gang busters and i think that by using a release agent of sorts i may get a realistic chipped zimmerit look.would like to see some close-ups.

Thank you !

For some reason if you click to the right of the pic you can get a close up I must of did something wrong . The zim was long but fun to do . It was one of those things once you start there is no going back .

Thanks again !
