Great only way I'd get it is if there was an interior kit.

That was kind of predictable in terms of available tooling already done.

I hope the fix the roadwheel toe in and camber issues it's always more pleasurable to not modify straight out of the box.

I'll bet Takom Announce a Jagdtiger in the next few days and I would assume an interior will be issued for both.

All that said I'll more than likely get my hands on this one if it's not an April fools joke.

Cheers Ben

Do you know they removed the word 'gullible' from the dictionary?

Happy April Fool, everyone!

I love how the shifty Chinese [auto-censored]s put their watermark on Don Campbell's images, claiming them as their own.

Yes predictable but another Jag ain't to be sniffed at.

Wonder if they'll do a Tiger 1 too?

Well, Takom is known to be working in a Panther too.

So we could expect another from Meng too

Guys - the Meng 'Jagdtiger' is an APRIL FOOLS JOKE.

The original poster, Don Campbell, posted images of his Tamiya Jagdtiger, sprayed with Tamiya red brown primer, in my King Tiger build page, Schwerpunkt, on Facebook.

So whilst it'd be great to see it from Meng, there currently isnt one in the works.

"What a marvelous idea!"

The seed has been planted. Even as we post, Meng may now be scrambling to collect references to do a Jagdtiger.

So is that surface texture original to the Tamiya kit, or did Don Campbell do that himself?
