I just completed to modify my king tiger, I used the new jagdtiger instructions to make a similar hull. incalcatore, can you post some pics here? I can't open pics on Cobi's facebook with my cellphone, i can only see small pics....I have to be a member to open them It looked promising, i believe i saw tan also instead of grey? Very exited to see that Jagdtiger/Tiger II with fenders mix of yours :-)

Well done! Very nice MOC!
Looking at my old Tiger II with Henschel turret it looks very ugly now.
What COBI sets did you use for your Tiger II ? Of course, the new COBI Tiger II with Porsche turret. Which set contains those corner bricks at the front?
Cobi should finally release new versions of Tiger II with both turrets with that brilliant new chassis!
OH COBI far in the east! Hear us! (and give us a MG42 as well!)

Great to see a Tiger II with the new smaller hull with fenders, and in tan!
Very nice moc indeed
I also like what you did with the turret, especially the back sides of it, how you used the slope bricks i a vertical way, very nice
The cobi jagdtiger has those engine cooling rusters at the back of only 3 studs wide, using 1x2 ruster tiles also, which unfortunately aren't available in green or tan ( they use dark grey) so you have to go in 4 studs wide on both sides
The coolest thing cobi did was make that hull only 10 studs wide at the upper hull, making a real correct size of it
Well, second coolest thing are offcourse those super great fenders..... I still have to study that jagdtiger instruction how it is made
These pics really wants me to redo my TigerII instantly.......
Btw, that front corner double slope brick in tan, from which set is that one from? It has a Cobi-tan color

Front corner double slope brick? I asked some replacement brick to kobikowski, however, the new set tk3 has four of them.

Never heard if it before. Is this kind of an alternative to bricklink? How are their prices compared to bricklink?

Toypro is a specialized store, not private people like bricklink, sometimes the bricks cost more (depend by color) in comparison with bricklink, but they have everything and low shipment cost.

Because of Incalcatorie's very nice Tiger II, I got out my Tiger II today and started working on fenders again The instruction of the new Cobi Jagdtiger still isn't available on their site, so i got my brains working again this time (I attempted to make fenders before last year and failed) I was going for an all smooth surface from beginning to end ( I made the front fender in one piece with the side fender) and was trying to keep tiles at all costs, to create a straight unbroken line ( Cobi has just too much bends in it) Also, i didn't want the fender to look to thick in width, so i made it not too far from the tracks Here the result; Here is how simple it is attached by only 1 "stud on demand" and a wheel receiver; You wouldn't say, but it really is very sturdy The advantage of using only 1 "stud on demand" is that you can turn it at every desirable angle Here the building structure of the fender; Funny, I had to sacrifice my Jagdtiger too for the fenders'long slanted tiles Next up is the turret.... (maybe using tiles to get rid of the trapeze-look of the slanted bricks) Hope you guys like it!

Interresting idea. Looks good! Also in general I like everything that is done using the ingenious "stud on demand" part

It looks good! And comes closer to the original. But incalcatore also did a great job! His front Fenders are a little bit smoother. :-)
I got the Spitfire Mk.IX, Hurricane Mk.I und P51 2nd Petie today. Next week they will be built during my vacation!
Regards!

I'm a big fan of the 'stud on demand' to Caracho! And yeah Tunix0 you're right, i also had that feeling that the front fenders where too long .... ...so i shortened it by 1 stud I redid the turret at the backside, i believe i can live with it for now (I wanted to do a slanted vertical brick build, but I really wanted to keep the 204 tile, which is a slanted horizontal brick) I added some nice towing cable on the right side of the hull Also did a make-over at the rear hull trying to make real tight space between those corners, and made rear fenders ;
