Calling this finished, needed a quick ( for me) build to get back to the bench and new room. Especially after a horrible few months when modelling came a very distant memory!

Used Mr Color lacquer, although spare tins, so not the correct colour. Added some basic rigging or is it radio leads??

Very pleased with the masking and painting a big improvement from the old days of using the horrilble garage! Think the use of a fine marking pen to fill in the drain vents has worked, I think?

On the downside, seam work is poor and I have a bad habit of rushing, one I must sort out.

Hope it passes muster chaps??

That's turned out very nicely indeed. A great finish, even if it's not a StuG! ;)

All the best.

Seems like this was a winner on all fronts. Looks great. Like Pete I can't see any seam issues. It's a big model that's for sure.

'Admiral' Bob,

I do have to admit that you have done an outstanding job on this build. Love the smooth sprayed finish and using the black marker to fill in all those blocks was a great idea!!! Sorry to hear Julie has banished you to the new workshop. I truly hope it's not for too long and the reason wasn't because you didn't build a StuG FIRST, to christen it.......BTW, nice bed too, buddy......

Ahoy
Allen
