As a modeler, I’m primarily interested in scratchbuilding aircraft, so I was surprised to receive Tamiya’s 1/16 scale radio-control King Tiger kit (No. 56007) as a birthday present.

Not long after receiving the kit, I bought a partially built 1/35 scale Dragon Jagdtiger kit (No. 6050) I found in the sale bin of my local hobby shop. After studying the model, I decided to use it as the pattern to convert the Tamiya kit into a big-scale Jagdtiger. It would be a unique model both in subject and in scale.
