Cheeky, not all StuG's! There's Cardiff City, sausages, Alfa Romeo!Thanks Bob, you're buying a book that isn't about Stugs? What ever next, you'll be building a British tank.......
Done a bit more, the turret is pretty much done, with a couple of etch bits to do.
Onto the hull, the mud guards needed a bit trimming off as the etch set has some, those & the upper assembled to the lower hull.

To be honest, I would advice against extensive damage, based on my experience building interiors etc. in recent years Something like a damaged mudguard or similar, though, is pretty easy and adds interest.it did cross my mind as it would make an impressive model, but there's no interior. That said a slightly less damaged vehicle abandoned & captured maybe?
So … shiny tracks and a hull floor with no paint left on it?Jakko, I think you're right about the damage, something that illustrates the harsh environment & fighting in the desert.
I don’t think I’ve seen an Italeri Panzer IV that didn’t have that. Must be a poorly designed mould or something.a monumental sink mark in the auxiliary engine silencer.
Coming on very well Graeme
Waiting for the lads who published the StuG book ( my best book ) to finally release there two vol set on the Pz IV
