All spot on Bob. Good luck with the wet stuff. Going to be modulating??
cheers Steve, may have a go, not sure how much with zimmerit, would it fade as much as paint??All spot on Bob. Good luck with the wet stuff. Going to be modulating??
many thanks Mike, pleased so far but as always areas for improvement!!Bob,
Looking very good, leave the tracks as they are and the side plates will look better once painted.
Mike.
cheers Chris, getting over the jab, but worth itYEA Bob leave the tracks as its great to see the sags as they are heavy in real but great build boyo an hope you feel better
chris
thanks PaulBob,
All looks spot on to me mate.
YEA IM very happy to see such fine work on a stug the details stand out gorgeuoes an seein the cover well this stug crew wont get wet very nice work boyoOk, Back on with this one, counting StuG's in my sleep
Primed in my usual Mr Surfacer 1500 thinned 50/50. Goes on so easy and smooth
You may notice that i have used a chain for the first time on the gun crutch, think it looks ok? Plus another first, a tarp over the top of the gun mantlet, this was a normal addition as weather, rain etc could enter the StuG through the large gap

Thanks Andrew, appreciatedBob,
Looking very good as others have said.
Also very helpful for the waffle Zim I have planned for my PSC StuH 42 I have unfinished in a box. I think I've worked out an almost full proof way of doing a representation of it at 1/72...... He says with trepidation....

Works both ways John, if the gunner had currywurst, could be a life saverI've been amiss in my postings recently but to return and see this Wow!
Very neat Bob.
Liking the part about the gap letting water in, German engineering at its best then !
Hi BobWorks both ways John, if the gunner had currywurst, could be a life saver
Oh yesHi Bob
Was the gap really that big?
I assume this is because it was hard to make a proper mantlet/cover because of the way the barrel entered the hull and still leaving enough 'leeway' to allow the gun to elevate and depress?

Bob think there must have been various problems like this. My KV -2 has a gap under the gun , either that or I fitted it wronglyOh yes
