LATE WAR STuG III (NOT MINE)
I have been asked to do a bit of work on a mates StuG III to bring it near to a very late war version with that funky swing armour.
The hull lower is Mato/asiatam(no one seems to be sure) but the rest is H/L.
I made the swing armour out of brass sheet to add robustness and weight instead of plastic.
All the brass spare track bars are reinforced with pins, all the upper side plate mounts also have pins drill through to add toughness when handling.
Im actually really keen to do one for myself soon.
I love doing StuG's - yes the "stug life chose me"
Its going to get one of the remote MG mounts soon, and very likely V2 Taigen PzIV electrics just to keep it simple.
The owner is a wizz with paint so its going to look great once done.

Re: LATE WAR STuG III (NOT MINE)
Not yet mate. He has the thing now, a remote mg has arrived so can be fitted.
I think he’s going to paint it this week.
He is yet to decide on electronics.
I will get pics as soon as I can
