Response to Some changes I made to the Trumpeter kit......

the recoil from the use of the L/66 12.8cm gun that I envisaged. There was a Jagdtiger proposal in the Panzer Tracts Paper Panzer book and I took the turret measurements from the superstructure intended to house the lengthened 12.8cm on the JT, thus I figured the commander would need additional clearance from the breech during recoil...so I had the slight overhang like the initial production Tiger II turrets. Or at least that was my reasoning back then...happy.gif

Yes, I agree...these what-if's are a lot of fun.

Best,

Mike
