The Jagdtiger (1 Viewer)

[Rob]

Just wondering how many of you guys would like to see one of these beasts,i really like them and think it would be an awsome example of the extremes of German armour in WW2.The fact that they couldn't get petrol,ammo and the roads couldn't take it demonstrate the folly of some German projects towards the end of WW2.(Not forgetting of course that it had a large gun and very thick armour).

Personally I never really liked the Jagdtiger - it's kind of ugly looking.

Jadgtiger Jadgtiger Jagdtiger, This Vehilcle Would Probably Be One Of The Best And Quickest Selling Pieces Of All Time. The Allies Were Very Lucky That They Did Nt Have To Face Many Of These. By The Way A Puma Would Be Nice, There Were Some Used In Normandy. I Am Sure Andy's Would Be Heads And Tales Better Than The One Currently Offered By Another Mfg

KC made a "Puma" for the Berlin series. It is a very nice piece, but technically it is a SdKfz 234/3 (without turret) and not the SdKfz 234/2 (with turret) version which is the "Puma". I assume Andy did that to show off the great figures in action and used the name to market it. The KC version is one of my favorite KC vehicles, but technically the NMA is more accurate in its depiction. Given KC's practice of redoing some older versions, it would be great to see a 234/2 version.

K&C Did make a turreted early war version. It's a great piece with a crewman leaning out of the hatch and one standing out side. I can't remember the WS # but I imagine Louis could pull it off the top of his head..
My taste right now run toward a late war up-armed Panzer IV with the side shurzen(skirts) and the 76 gun in a motled camo. Perhaps with a pinch of ware and tear showing?
O.C.

I believe that was a Sdkfz 231 item number WS032.

Yes, it looks very similar to the Puma except for the gun.

There ugly but kind of there charm and attraction isn't it. It looks like a BEAST but I'd probably get it if it were offered.

Like the Japanese Yamato-class battleships; just another target for Allied airplanes! Kind of ironic that the nation that re-wrote the book on mobile combined arms operations ended up pushing for "immobile warfare" systems.

I dont think a tank is any where near the size of a ship. and a tank can be hidden while if your enemy finds your ship its kind of hard to hide it.

Germany was fighting a defensive war at the time so the immobility wasn't as much of a problem, plus on the Eastern Front they needed the biggest gun possible to be able to destroy the Josef Stalin tanks and tank destroyers. But still the Jagdtiger was apparently so heavy it would sometimes just slip into a ditch or whatnot and then couldn't be pulled out.

They lost alot of tanks due to not being able to serivce them.

The late war Panzer IV had a 75 mill gun I wish K&C would release on as well.

I assume you mean WS 32, the SDKFZ 2318wheel Armoured Car Set.

I think a Jagdtiger would be a great addition to the Bulge range,but if i remember rightly Andy did say a while back that he didn't like the vehicle.
