The award-winning modeller Graham Dunbar Brown shows in this video DVD how to to build, paint and detail German Armor scale models. He takes the Jagdtiger tank kit from the kit stage to the completed and battle-scarred veteran X2 that surrendered at Iserlohn in April 1945. You will discover how to bulld the paint the german tank model as well as all additional detailing, washing, painting, and spraying, texturing, and weathering. View More at http://www.compen...

I used the old #9036 Jagdtiger (Late Production) kit from Dragon. Although it is not a kit of Dragon´s newest generation it has superb details and quality. The kit features some photo etched parts and the small transport tracks (German: Transportketten) for the tank. They were used for transporting the tank on railways, because the normal tracks were too wide. It was a very hard job for the crew to change the tracks, so some Jagdtiger tanks went into battle with the transport tracks.
Sometimes the factories had not enough paint or not the time to paint the vehicles, because they were needed on the front, so many german late war tanks were sent to their units just painted with the anti rust colour. The crews added the camo schemes on their own, depending on the availability of colours. Therefore i painted the model with "rust brown" over all and added a "sand brown" camo scheme afterwards to simulate these circumstances.
The first time i used pigments without any kind of fixer and i´m quite satisfied with the result. I tired this technique because there was a very interesting discussion about it on "Modellours Workshop".
Jagdtiger ("Hunting Tiger") is the common name of a German tank destroyer of World War II. The official German designation was Panzerjäger Tiger Ausf. B. The ordnance inventory designation was Sd. Kfz. 186. It saw service in small numbers from late 1944 to the end of the war on both the Western and Eastern Front. The Jagdtiger was the heaviest armored fighting vehicle operationally used during World War II. Due to an excessive weight the Jagdtiger was continuously plagued with mechanical problems.
he Jagdtiger was a logical extension of the creation of Jagdpanzer designs from tank designs, such as the Jagdpanther from the Panther tank. The Jagdtiger used a boxy casemate superstructure on top of a lengthened Tiger II chassis. The resulting vehicle featured very heavy armor and the 128 mm PaK 44 L/55 gun, capable of defeating any tank fielded in World War II, even at very long ranges (over 3,500 m (2.2 mi)). It had 250 mm (9.8 in) armor on the front of the casemate and 150 mm (5.9 in) on the glacis plate. The main gun mount had a limited traverse of only 10 degrees; the entire vehicle had to be turned to aim outside that narrow field of fire.
The Jagdtiger suffered from a variety of mechanical and technical problems due to its immense weight and under-powered engine. The vehicle had frequent breakdowns; ultimately more Jagdtigers were lost to mechanical problems or lack of fuel than to enemy action.
150 Jagdtigers were ordered but only half that number were produced. Eleven of them, serial numbers 305001 and 305003 to 305012, were produced with the Porsche suspension (8 roadwheels); all following used the Henschel suspension (9 roadwheels).
Production figures vary depending on source and other factors such as if prototypes are included and if those made after VE day are included. Totals range from about 77 to 88 produced from July 1944 to May 1945. Approximately 48 from July 1944 to the end of December 1944; 36 from January to April 1945, serial numbers from 305001 to 305088 (such as examples from May 1945, and pre-production prototypes, and whether incomplete chassis are counted).
Some sources say no more vehicles were completed after February. Towards the end some were lacking important equipment and could not be used operationally, or could not be deployed to units.
Only two heavy antitank battalions (schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung), numbered 512 and 653, were equipped with Jagdtigers, with the first vehicles reaching the units in September 1944. About twenty percent were lost in combat; most were destroyed by their own crews when abandoned, chiefly due to mechanical breakdowns or lack of fuel in the desperate final stages of the war.
