This is same set Cobi JagdTiger 1/48 model. Same size and Same hull building. but Color and Turret design are different. I wasn't bored to build even though almost same because I felt this is big difference about camouflage pattern.

Because of unstable connection between Gun mantlet and Turret, I had to put them by glue. but if you won't play, you don't have to do like me.

I chose 1/48 instead 1/28 or 1/35 because they have ugly face on front(or some angle). Appearance of 1/48 is pretty enough. I think 1 or 2 stud diagonal brick make it more like real Konigstiger on 1/48 scale.

Track and all wheels are rolling very smooth. Oh, you should not confuse suspension brick C and D. If you do, it doesn't roll well.

I hope I got the name correctly translated.

This is the final version of this fake panzer 3 I've been working on, it's a elongated panzer 3 with the engine moved to the middle and a 12.8 K43 mounted in the back in a superstructure. Most importantly this not a tank hunter but a siege gun hence why it can aim up so high.

changes since last time:

1. Decking installed.

2. Charges changed to more proportional size.

3. Connectors for the shell storage changed to brassy gold as to avoid standing out.

4. Breach redesigned and looking much better if I do say so my self

5. Multiple options for barrel available.

The barrel choices that available are shown off in the last few pictures with a marker to show off the length on the tape measure. I would be very appreciative to know what barrel looks best.

To replace the one I turned into the waffenträger I needed another and decided to attempt a speed build at the same time. Unless I find a really cool variant that I think I can build this will be the last one I buy for a while as now I have 13 variants of the 4.

With a prepared turret, tracks and several elements of the hull interior and exterior I managed to build it in 22 minutes. My fingers hurt after that so I won't be doing anymore speed builds. As this was my tenth time building this model I didn't even need the manual, the final pic is all my spare copies of this manual.

And since I had a spare turret completely available I decided to make a few other variants that didn't deserve a unique hull in my collection as space is becoming a premium resource for my shelves. I've also slightly changed the bow plate as to seal up the gap and bring the access hatches flush.

Hello all,
While the PzIV army marches ever forward, due to the time it takes to get parts in I decided to, in the meantime, start rough drafts on my ideas for a Panzer VII Lowe MOC. I have the hull design basically done, two different gun ideas started, and thoughts on how to match the turret curvature. My biggest problem is that very unique gun shield/mantlet. I can’t find a premade piece in existence that comes close. I’m having trouble imagining how to build it out of bricks. I could easily 3D print my own, but that seems like a cop-out. So, I figured I’d turn to y’all. Any ideas on how to go about making that oddly-shaped mantlet?

Two Tiger 1s, one is early(TK2) other is late(12GO) production. Both Tigers are command tanks and represent two tigers that were used by Hauptsturmfuhrer Michael Wittman.
I thought about writing one VS. other review, but;
TK2 is showcase of what can be done with bricks: great quality, model that is stable when finished, excellent details of exterior and interior, makes TK Tiger a superb set.
So, turned out to be a appreciation post for the 12GO: One excelent set, that looks better live than on photos, and it has that brick tank charm. This set was pure joy and fun to build! Good build technics, and instructions make the build feel fluid. I ordered this Tiger after i finished TK2, and im plesantly surprised with quality and how it looks when finished. This set is a must-have for any collector!
12GO 9.5/10
TK2 10/10

I recently got the Stug 3 Limited Edition from QuanGuan and If I use the recommended 47 track pieces the Tracks are really tight and don't Roll at all and If I use only 1 piece more the Tracks Run Well but are really loose Like you See in the picture. Is it Like this in all quanguan Models and does anyone have any advice on how this can be fixed? It seems Like adding only half a track piece extra would be perfect

First post and big design here :D this is my semi-finished semi-wip design of a vanguard class submarine with moveable stern flaps and rudder.

Made completely from scratch with many many many redesigns and while not as smooth as my initial designs it should be very stable and well fitting (curse hinges).

I am hoping to get all the parts soon (and test the instructions) but as you can imagine for a build of this size, it is not cheap even when "optimised" ;D

This is so tiny tank set. Almost Lego Speed Champion : ) but it is little bit harder to build than look. There is no other interior and Hatch doesn't open. but it's very stable to build and toy. Track is rolling well even on smooth surface. I impressed all bogie wheels are rolling. beside, this is tiny set but appearance is well and looks more like real Jagdtiger. Oh, You should not confuse Suspension G and H. If you do, it doesn't roll well.

I've got 6 stugs at this time and I thought I would show off the important 5 when it comes to the armaments.

The first on is the short 7.5cm the first gun the Stug would be armed with in an attempt to get as many rushed out for service as soon as possible, it was the same armament as featured on the panzer 4 at the time. It was decently powerful but it's accuracy suffered from its short barrel at longer ranges. I made this mantlet by cutting down a spare one from the Quan panzer 3 L with a pair of side cutters and whitling down the rest.

The second is the KWK 40 a longer barrel 7.5cm that would also get fitted to the panzer 4 F2, unlike the F2 it would mount it's recoil springs above the gun in a upturned V shaped armoured box mantlet. An overall great improvement but did add some extra weight on the vehicle and made the interior a little more cramped. This mantlet was made from spare parts including double sided parts and stud ring inserts.

The third is the same gun with the later hbelfe mantlet that improves the front armour profile.

Forth is the Sturm-huabitze 42 a 10.5cm howitzer that was used for infantry support roles but became very common later on when the Stug 4 entered production, though the Stug 4 would rarely receive any as the 4 was seen as better for a tank hunter role than the 3. Made in the same way I made the second mantlet

And lastly the Sig33b fitted into the Sturm-Ifanteriegeschütz a rare variant of the Stug 3 with either 12 or 24 built and the first confirmed 12 all destroyed at Stalingrad. I copied the Quan sturmpanzer 2 to get the shape of the barrel right, this is also my most fragile build.

just finished this bad boy, for 1:35 its a fairly detailed set 🔥, it's a finger buster to build the turret but otherwise very enjoyable building progress

I just ordered the Panzer I Ausf. B from Amazon and paid $50.87 The kit is selling on COBI's US site for $69.99 If you've had your eye on the set, now may be a good time to pull the trigger.

Got this set from Barweer and it's really nice! The detail on it is amazing, and the scale seems to be about 1:56 scale so it fits minifigures well! The "crew" minifigures that came with it left a lot to be desired, but the sub itself is beautiful. For about $120 you really can't beat it.
