Not going to paint the build like the box art. I've always liked the tri-colour schemes so that's what i'm intending to do. Plus i want it to match a diorama i have planned for it much later on.

Well, some of the track joints and the like also got a little rustyYes Christian. It will be totally OOB as i know nothing about armour other than they get muddy
There are "walkaround" videos on YouTube on a bunch of armour. I am confident you will find at least one on a StuG, if you like that sort of thing.

Search the same page for the word "zimmerit" if you want to know about when it was used, etc.
Not sure how accurate you want to be, but there should be plenty of room for a tri-tonal without zim.

Nice one Alan, good luck with your first amour build and looking forward to that tri-colour scheme.

I’m sure this will give you no bother Al....he says 
This was one of the first kits I built and seem to remember it being straightforward.
Loads of people to ask if you get stuck with something along the way....theres a bloke called Bob that knows a little I think

Hi Al, welcome to the world of the stug and all those wheels
Off to a great start
Off to a great start
Did a bit more on it this afternoon after the F1 race. Not sure about painting the wheels then fitting them, only for them to be painted over So i've left them off and un-painted for now. Enjoying doing this build. Something totally different and out of my comfort zone.

Slow down man, i have only taken the lid off the box lol. I paint the tyres first then the metal of the wheel using a geometery stencil to mask off the tyres

Not exactly much to this kit so it isn't going to take long to make it up. The painting and weathering will take longer lol
Great start Al .
