Looks great Bill, nice finish.  Body style reminds me of a King Tiger!

Thanks Bill. Yes the Jagdtiger had the same lower hull as the King Tiger. Both had the production "Henschel" hull. There was another Jagdtiger that had a Porsche hull. The Porsche hull had fewer road wheels and very few of these vehicles were produced. The Germans liked to build a Jagd "hunting" version of their production tanks. Panther and Jagdpanther , Tiger and Jagdtiger , etc etc. I have the Dragon Jagdtiger "Porsche" design but it has the individual track links. I have a hard time building those.

Bill,
If you are looking something different, take a these photos of a New Zealand M41.

Very Good looking build Bill. 
Are you going to do it's "stable mate". the JagPanther?  I think Tamiya also did a version of this.  Would make an interesting paring in the display case.

Thanks Herk. I might do that. I like the look of the Jagdpanther and it does have some good camo schemes. Right now I am going to shift to finishing the M 41 for the group build. I finished building the Bulldog but I need to figure out what I want to do with it. The Bulldog came in one color OD green! I don't know. Maybe a "what if" scheme.

I don't always like German armor but that looks very nice.

I purchased this kit for five dollars at a contest a couple months back. Its the real old Tamiya kit. I used Life color paints, MIG and AK Interactive products.
