If I’m not mistaken, with a Jagdpanther, you can do a simple grid pattern of zimm and be accurate, not having to worry about the serrations.

Great selection. That certainly is an older kit that deserves some attention. I'm sure this is going come along nicely in your hands.

By the looks of the engine deck your model is of a late production Jagdpanther. This means you do not have to apply Zimmerit to have it be accurate if you don't want to, indeed most all of the late/final production vehicles did not have it as the practice was discontinued in the fall of 1944.
I was unaware Nichimo molded 1/35th armor looks like a pretty nice kit

Nichimo 1/35 armor kits got the basic shapes correct, but they need help in the details. They are very much 70’s era kits.

I dunno how you guys do it with those tracks. Very tedious work but very rewarding when done right. Will be watching this thread closely as to learn.

That sure looks good Chris. Dude.....those TRACKS!!! I can never get over all the work that goes into the tracks on these builds. Superb progress and I'm MOST certainly looking forward to your brilliant paint work and subsequent weathering on this bad boy. |

You certainly have improved the old Nichimo kit! Very nice work indeed! I can’t wait to see what happens when you get some paint on the beast.

You have made excellent progress Chris. Everything looks really good on the assembled side of things. Nice stowage you have to go with it. That it will be a sweet add on. Looking forward to the paint to start.

Primed, intentionally in different colors, the individual panels, parts want to come across later in different painting status.   |
