i bought a tamiya static Porsche KT ten years ago for 180 euro nice priced , decided two years ago to start to convert an jagtiger from a KT on 1/16 ... the wecohe conversion set was way to expensive ... so i deciden to cut thru the chassis and upperbody and add 26,5mm on bothe and reinforce it with aluplale and little screws
was looking after this calliote on prececision kits but it was out of production

a guy calling Oswald from Smaz Zelzate was making the 128mm barrel for me and the calliote for the gun

a few later on foto's
on the chassis and upperbody was added 26,5 mm on 1/16 for scale effectiveness
By at 2011-08-18
many details were added in the proces , first forgotten or unknown off it is just like a learning process, you think you know all about your jagdtiger but get new stuff all the time when discover new sources of info
By at 2011-08-18
the trackhooks ... yes ... also plasticprofile reinforces with metal bar on the superstructure

i lowered it 5mm so the calliote would be fitting
By at 2011-08-18
much to learn on such a conversion, but if you see your results after a time its rewarding to see it build up
drivers and gunnerscompartment cut totaly out
By at 2011-08-18
the first fit of the two components, the profesional kit calliote and the cut out compartment
By at 2011-08-18
don't look bad at all
