Join me as we take a look at this unique subject from Dragon. This is a good kit but it has one rather large flaw in my opinion. I hope another manufacturer will offer this subject in the future that may be easier to assemble. Hopefully there is enough information here for the viewer to make a decision on whether or not they want to purchase this model.

Great review, Andy. I did the earlier one (Kit 6051) I ended up using the kit tracks but I did was make link and length tracks out of them. I worked making short segments, 10 to twenty links at a time. First one is from the bottom of the sprocket to the top of the third road wheel. that's the hardest one. Let that one dry, do something else, and make another segment another day. It works and won't make you too crazy.

Two piece, the rubber pad goes over the "hinge" and locks the pins from the second track link in place. Small (not as small as the bits in your kit) and you can't have any excess glue or it will glue the hinge. I use thick plastic cement and a toothpick to get the right amount in the right place. AFV Club does have rubber band tracks available for the 251, but not for the 250 and it has slightly smaller links. Do it right and the track is workable, but when everything's painted I glue it onto the wheels for more support and strength. No magic tracks, all come on a sprue, in newer kits the links are attached at the sides, older ones have two sprue gates at the front or male part of the link, leave just a tiny bit of the gate on and it won't mate in properly, at the joint looks wrong on either the X or Y axis, sometimes both.

why should scale model building always be a relaxing,and pleasurable experience ? .....so we'll just put these nightmare on a sprue tracks in this otherwise nice kit,and ship it out.and with a price tag that will quickly empty some wallets ! uuuugh dragon ! a true love/hate relationship.i would really love to build this kit,but the tracks are kind of scaring me away.thanks for the "heads up".i'm mainly an oob builder,who doesn't like the hassle of ordering extras.anyway great kit review ! thanks,looking forward to your next one.because your videos rock ! :)

Hey Andy, I ordered this kit from hobbylinc and it said it came with a few goodies i.e. metal gun barrel, but to my dismay there was nothing like that in the box. Dragon stole my money !

Basile James Turn the box over and look at the back. The other box panel will show if the kit you purchased comes with the "goodies" or not. If you just purchased yours new from a retailer then you more than likely got the "newer" version and yes Dragon no longer ships them with the metal goodies.

I see I'm rubbing off on you a bit, great review Andy. I was pretty unimpressed with the Henschel Jagdtiger kit. I'm actually still building it, started it maybe 6 months ago and just picked it up trying to finish it this last week. All of the Jagdtigers and Ferdinand/Elefant kits could do with a retooling as they're pretty dated. I had issues fitting the suspension correctly on mine, and some major gaps around the front plate. The side skirt spure in mine said "Revell" on it too. No idea how that could be. My advice on those insane tracks (why are they called E-Z if they're on a sprue?) is to get or make a jig the shape of the sag you want so you can glue them together at your own pace. I'm glad the Henschel version uses standard KT tracks, so mine has Magic Tracks. Mine also came with the metal parts once I took pictures of the box and sent them off to Dragon. Thanks for the nod, I'm not terribly sure I deserve it but I appreciate it.

Adam Mann On the jig idea I have some of the Hobbytrax jigs but they don't make one specifically for a Jagdtiger. They do make one for the King Tiger but it makes me wonder if the track geometry would be similar enough on this vehicle to use it. If you are not familiar with Hobbytrax here is their site: www.hobbytrax.net/

i acutally assembled the transport tracks for the JT once, they were just like that. i assembled the two big pieces, wrapped it around the model and let it dry in the right shape. then i took them off, cut off all the tiny bits and glued them on. it was a bit of a pain to cut all the pieces, but assembling it was not that tricky.

TacticalJackalope i think it is also advisable to add one of the tiny bits too, perferable the one close to the edge of the track, just in case the thing wraps a bit and you may end up beeing unable to insert the tiny bits later. i´m not sure whether or not i did it this way back then, it just came into my mind that this may be a problem.

When I was first looking for Dragon Jagd Tiger 6050 I couldn't seem to get my hands on it so I ended up buying 9036 instead and it came with the narrower delivery style tracks with it, they only have 3 parts to the link instead of 5 if you want those I would be more than happy to let you have them because I am replacing them with Tamiya 35165 King Tiger track set that is 2 parts to the link or if you decide to try the Tamiya ones they are about $20.00 at Lucky model and right now they have 1 set in stock.

Those tracks indeed seem to be the same as the ones on their earlier release, which were a pain to clean up and assemble... I've seen a new 2 in 1 release of the Jagdtiger Porshe this Nov 2018, and I'm curious if they already improved the tracks on that one... guess I'll have to wait for the review before grabbing it. (Edit: I rechecked the box picture in the newest 2 in 1 release and it's still says EZ tracks... awww crap)

Nice review. I did not realize there were track issues with the dragon kits. In my stash I have Dragon JagdTiger Kits 6050 (Henschel) and 6051 (Porsche) Where do they fit into this family of kits and do they have the same track issues. I have stashed a lot of Dragon and tabiya armour kits and now am ready to begin on my retirement projects.
