Ok i was reading through finescale modlers magazine and i ran across a person ( i cant rememeber who ) scratch built a Jagd Tiger from a King Tiger chasis. Does the JagdTiger have the same chasis as the King Tiger ?

Ohh also my last question how is Balsa would used in scratchbuilding model kits?

Yes, same chassis. Saw the same article. Beautiful job, wasn't it?
Regarding your question about balsa. Most modelers shy away from it, because it's generally difficult to cut without tearing, even though it sands easily. If you smear the outersurfaces with thin (the one with a viscosity like water) CA, it can be cut to a very close tolerance with a razor saw, and shaped with sanding sticks. I used it to scratchbuild the carriage for a Gribeauval 12-pdr gun, and was pleased with the result: lighter than basswood, I didn't need a coping saw to cut/shape the parts, and I got a great "real wood" effect after it was painted. I'm going to use the same technique to improve the carriages of the Lifelike Civil War gun, and the Naval 32-pdr, as well. Hope this helps, Rob

No, different chasis.

The Jagdtiger chasis is longer than King TIger, that's why you don't wanna the Tamiya Jagdtiger, because it's using the same chasis as the KT.

Thanks, "Smaj" for correcting my gaffe. The FSM article author clearly states how he lengthened the chasss for his build!!
