Sd.Kfz.184 Schwerer Jagdpanzer Elefant

Aghis Barberopoulos
That's a great gift! We can both work on Elefants now...

Holger Kranich
Yeah, cool! You wanna build one, too?

Holger Kranich
I only need a turned barrel now!

Aghis Barberopoulos
I have the Dragon kit with the barrel 😄 Remember the famous helmeted mugshot ?

Mike Kryza
...not so much parts than the DML ones...😢 - could be a quick build!!!

Aghis Barberopoulos
I also have the friul tracks assembled and burnished, PE fenders in progress and the same figure set!!!

Holger Kranich
Wow you have begun? Where are the pix???😢

Holger Kranich
Yes mike, think so too!

Aghis Barberopoulos
Have started yes, but still early stages...I will put some test shots just to drive your anticipation wild😉

Holger Kranich
What brand are you building! The tamiya one or dragon?

Holger Kranich
I'm eager to see some pix!!!

Aghis Barberopoulos
The Dragon, and Mike is right, still good thing the kit is not Tristar like the Marder III with the 450 parts...

Christian Meyerhoff
Hi Holger! Have fun with this one! I did the dragon kit, but I think that tamiya has won the game. In addition with the friuls and the "Royal Crew" this will come out very nice! Will watch every step you make... 🙂

Holger Kranich
Omg!
I'm glad that the tamiya one is less engineered! It seems to be an easy kit to build! But the dragon one has some very nice pe and metal goodies!!!

Aghis Barberopoulos
Both kits are very good so, it seems we have an interesting elefant project here...

Christian Meyerhoff
Well, that`s right, but the bundle you got is a very good start. By the way , I think a have a turned barrel for this one in spare. Will check this tomorrow. Maybe a reason to return to Wangerooge again😉

Holger Kranich
Oh that would be way cool, Christian!!!

Holger Kranich
So guys and gals! The sprues are touched, the glue is open, instruction manual is at the ready, I have finally begun this kit!
It's a pleasure to feel the fit and the details of the surface, it's nearly a shame to put Zimmerit on it! Pix will follow tomorrow! Yihaaaw!!!😄

Christian Meyerhoff
Na dann hau mal rein!

Duncan Cook
Törö! Bin gespannt.

George Bacon
Looks like a wonderful project. Good luck!

Mike Kryza
Hatte gedacht Du bist schon fertig...😢

Holger Kranich
The hull is assembled! I'm amazed, this is going to be an easy build (by now!)! It's crazy how the parts fall easily together! I presume that the paintjob will last longer! The guncradle is very good engineered and will even hold a barrel made of lead! That's the typical Tamiya quality! Get yourself this kit!!!😄

Frank Krause
Pigs, pigs, pigs...aeehhh, pics, pics, pics!😉

Holger Kranich
Left Friul is finished!
Frank, buy it, you won't be disappointed! Pig(x)'s are going to get added tomorrow!😢:d

Holger Kranich
Does anyone know if the roadwheels had a gum application?

Frank Krause
Hi Holger,
as per my knowledge no rubber rims around the roadwheels. These roadwheels had an inner rim, not visible from the outside.

Holger Kranich
Thanks Frank! That makes the paintjob easy!😢

Frank Krause
Yepp, Holger! Blank metal on the outside is just fine!

Kim Branders
tuned in mate😉

Jens
na denn man tau , oder wie sagt der echte Friese , von 72 auf 35 , dann sollte Handwerklich null Probleme geben 😉

Acki
Das wird ja was. Ich bleib mal am Ball.
