Porsche Jagdetiger

By: Danl Dunbar

Manufacturer(s): Dragon

Description: Jagdetiger Germany 1945, Armourscale barrel, detail made from wire plasticard and brass sheet, Zimm made using the liquid glue/screw driver method. Vallejo/Tamiya paints, mud made from Vallejo putty.

Judge 1: Good work on the Zimmerit, with the plain strip underneath with the shirt tabs & the wear & chipping the grate lines could have been deeper. the rust & worn metal looks good on the tracks the tools look well painted the camo could have had a tighter sprayed edge to it on such a large vechicle. Abit more wear on the barrel lock to match the rest of the vechicle & break up the blandness . With the decals the crosses need to be cut closer not to show white on the ends really nice wear on the upper surfaces with bare mental showing , lighter spots & oil patches.
Judge 2: Good photos and a good solid build but the grooves on the zimmerit are too shallow and the pattern is over scale. The paint work is smooth and well applied but could be improved with some more tonal variation, the camouflage pattern is good but there is little contrast between the colours and they blend into each other. The smaller details stand out well and the scratches and chips are good and in the right spots. The oil stains although very good are a little out of scale. The weathering could be more robust and the rusty colour on the tracks seem out of place.
Judge 3: The general build is good and the zimmerit has a nice scale thickness to it. The zimmerit ridges looks a little far apart and not as defined as the real thing though. The paint finish shows some nice shadowing around the smaller details but the rust on the tracks looks too strong and bright.
