Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV L/48 Late (WIP)

2011-02-16T22:35:00.012-10:00

An attempt to build a late (i.e., late Sept. 1944) Jagdpanzer IV L/48 using a recycled Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV Lang kit and based on the Kagero Photosniper drawings. The late model L/48 barrel is from Jordi Rubio, with selected PE from the Eduard set, plus some spares from the DML Jagdpanzer IV L/70, DML Elefant, Cyber-Hobby/DML Brummbar Late, Acad. PzIV track links and various other kits. The barrel was fitted after quite a bit of hacking at the original kit parts.

Old Skool Tigers

2010-08-26T21:25:00.005-10:00

Tiger I and King Tiger from yesteryear. Box art is still nice, but the King Tiger was woefully simplified even back in the day. The Tiger I had some interesting features, like tubing and better detail, although the crew figures were vintage even back then.

Marder I (H39) WIP (Trumpeter)

2010-08-25T21:32:00.006-10:00

Comparison of Trumpeter Marder I (H39) with Bronco H39. Turret of H39 is not inserted into ring. Note that tracks on Marder I (HobbyBoss) are in the wrong direction . . . oops. Wonder what other disasters can occur??

Old skool Marder II (Tamiya) figures added just for fun. WIP but having trouble figuring out exactly how the gun sits, esp. how far forward and how high . . . Bronco version differs by not having internal shields so gunshield sits almost flush with side plates; have seen Trumpeter versions mounted in multiple ways in different web posts. In Trumpeter instructions (and reference photo), the gun shield actually appears to be lower than compartment walls, but seems physically impossible with kit. Doesn't help that instructions show baseplate for Pak 40 installed in the wrong direction. With only a few reference photos (maybe 4?) available, difficult to determine what is correct, but I guess that's what you get when there were only about 24 or so originals.

Marders everywhere

2010-07-30T06:56:00.007-10:00

Deconstructing a Tamiya Marder II from 30 years ago:

Note the ugly camo. scheme. In pre-airbrush (too poor) days, applied with a q-tip.

Driver figure was too tall to fit in seat, so he was decapitated.

Constant tension over 30 years from the vinyl tracks has warped the alignment of the drive sprockets.
