A project that's been in the works for a long time and it all started with this Panzer III
with a lot of cutting and a VERY disappointing experience with an online store I have started a conversion to build a Stug III F. I even went as far as to buy the heng long stug to use as a ref for mounting the gun
right now i got the track tensioners and a set of low/low gear boxes(Taigen PS III) to mount before i will work on the upper hull again. missing parts from the conversion kit with no reply to emails about it is dragging it down . I can live without the gunner sight and i can make the 2 gun wormer holders but the front armour plate and the ventilator cover would have been nice to have but as you can see i've got a set of metal doors for the driver. Still not what i want to do with all the filling that i now will have to do.
Now for the part list that i want for this
winter metal tracks
metal road wheels,return roll, suspension, shock absorbers
Taigan recoil
this build may be a slow one but at least i know how i'm going to paint it. there is a clue here of how it may look but i'm not saying until someone guess right. my little bit of fun

I only know because I'm collecting parts for the same thing. Let's see if anyone else gets it.

Re: Panzer Vor
Shame about the dramas with the kit Negaduck, I hope they sort it out for you soon. StuGs of all persuasions are great-looking machines, and yours is going to be that little bit more unique. Nice!

Re: Panzer Vor
Hi Dom at www.rctank.de can help with your shopping list and a look through "Shapeways" may well produce the armoured Mantlet you are searching for,
And having purchased from both I happily recommend them as being honest straight dealers.

Re: Panzer Vor
Did this Project get finished up? I am looking to do the same thing and have most of the bits needed, but am lacking in the expertise to put it all together. I am starting from the "ground" up, so to speak. Information on assembly of the metal suspension, wheels and track would be great, as I have all of the parts. Instructions are what I am lacking.
