Hunter CumminsThank you for offering your help, its very much appreciated!
And yes the kit does, but they are soft, I added to and made it more real than it was by adding cast texture over it

Rui SBe welcome Mate.
That's what I suspected, good job.
do you have a preferred time frame and location for your project?
22 October 2015, 18:32
Hunter CumminsThank you!
And. Try to find them in the spring time, summer time. Or fall time, and as for location, no specific location is needed 🙂

Gábor BélikNice!
If you put the sideskirts on make sure you put the tracks on first, because aftr that you gonna have some issues.

Hunter CumminsThank you Gabor,! And about the side skirts, I want to have only one or two pieces on each side (but both would be individual and in opposing places) but I don't know if the dragon skirts will look right if I just cut them off at the rib (either to short, and /or something else)

Gábor BélikIt might look a bit thick IMHO. I had this kit with the zimmerit and that had piece by piece skirts. If you want to be safe I would suggest a PE skirts. Or just leave it. It will still look badass. 🙂

Rui Shehe I'm sure it will, Gábor.
A cheaper alternative is to use a driller or sanding the edges of the skirts to make them look thinner.
23 October 2015, 17:02
Gábor BélikYes I use to do the same. 🙂 The skirts have some kind of shoulder or edge on the rear end a kind of overlapping cover. sry my english dictionary is not rich enough to explain it more clearly. 🙂This make it a little more difficult to cut and thin to the right size but shouldnt be anything special you can't handle.

Album info
This is dragons first kit of the jagdtiger Porsche suspension, I will be doing one of the few that did not have zimmerit in combat. But the paint scheme will be different than those of the actual vehicals as I don't know any of their camp schemes, and help is much appreciated!
