Vader’s Model Desk: Sd.Kfz 186 Panzerjäger VI Ausf. B “Jagdtiger”

The 71-tonne Jagdtiger was the heaviest armored fighting vehicle (AFV) used operationally by any nation in WWII and the heaviest combat vehicle of any type to be produced during the conflict. it was armed with a 128 mm Pak 44 L/55 main gun which could out-range and defeat any AFV fielded by the Allied forces.
It saw brief service in small numbers from late 1944 until the end of the war on both the Western and Eastern Front. Although 150 were ordered, only around 80 were produced. Due to an excessive weight and an underpowered drivetrain system, the Jagdtiger was plagued with mobility and mechanical problems. Three Jagdtigers survive in museums.

Very impressive.
I wonder if anyone has ever come up with something along the lines of a Kill ratio for WW2 armor similar to how they look at fighter jets?

Your weathering skills are impressive and your attention to detail is in the upper range of the OCD scale (in a good way - ha ha). Hell, you even put rust/dirt on the shovel.
Excellent job as usual!

Outstanding brushwork on the ambush camo scheme. Yours skills are getting better with every build!

Is it awesome? Yes and even impressive work. But if you're not going to give me dioramas, I'll need some black background around the model to make it pop even more. I mean if I'm nitpicking. 
Those are some sweet models.

Damn, the shroud on the gun turret looks real... Very impressive work.

The German fascination with bigger and heavier is always intriguing.
One wonders how things would have gone if they concentrated on fewer, less complicated and less expensive types...
Love your work!

Heavier than a Maus?

Very nice.

I’ve seen one of the survivors at the Armor Museum when it was still at Ft. Knox.
They have another Nazi tank with a side cut away and uniformed mannequins in crew positions. That tank is about the height of a school bus, but maybe twice the width. It’s amazing anybody made a vehicle that big and heavy.

No bullshite. Do you have all of your models set up in a certain area?
Posted on 11/22/22 at 1:02 pm to Darth_Vader
You’ve got the rust and field crud painting down pat. Very nice!

Do you only do NAZI replicas?
Seems like, and I'll readily admit I don't follow your work closely, every time you post something it's NAZI. I'm not judging you there, Adolf, just curious is all.

I second the weathering work. Normally, I prefer clean models. Weathering gets out of control very easily.
Not too little, not too much.
Yours is just right.
Cheers.
