Very late stug
This is the first of two projects I picked up recently, a rather tasty stug g late model. Metal chassis and running gear, ibu2 pro, servo recoil, hidden ir emitter, nicely done internals with nice big speaker box. All the hatches open, it's got welds, etch chequer plate, scratch build antenna and brackets the list goes on an on. My plan is to finish it as a very late war stug as found abandoned in 1945. Will be adding the later pendulum skirts and finishing her in a late war campaign scheme.

Re: Very late stug
Thanks Carl, the red oxide stooog as it's become known in the club had become a running joke as gary had been building it for about 4 years. I took pity on it and will hopefully get it finished a bit faster!c.rainford73 wrote:Tom that is an interesting and exceptional piece. Can't wait to see you bring it to life

Re: Very late stug
Good morning,
Well, you can't blame this Gary fellow for wanting to hold onto his bit of the 'StuG Life' for as long as possible. ;o) It's easy to see a lot of work has gone into the vehicle. Looking forward to your finishing touches!
regards,
Painless

Re: Very late stug
What happened to the four Jagdpanthers that he was doing (about 6 years ago) ? lol.
Nice Stug you have prised out of him, it's got everything that it needs to be a top build.

Re: Very late stug
All the upgrades look fantastic already. Do you have experience with Stugs and can tell how accurate the HengLong, Taigen Stug is atually?

Re: Very late stug
I did a similar conversion for a mate recently. The various hobby brand StuG's seem pretty right for accuracy, and with all the aftermarket bits available, easy to pick a version & make it right.
The swing Schurzen armour of the lates are robust and easy to make, so I'm well tempted to do one for myself some day.

Re: Very late stug
Some progress on the stug, I've added the late war pendulum skirts from tank modellbau with some minor alterations to match my subject. I've alsoade a start on the tools and stowage, Aber fire extinguisher, first of the tools with shapeways clamps, scratch built jack block. The spare track holder uses u channel brass, some tamiya panther parts and schumo butterfly screws. The most involved bit here was the remote mg 34. All of the carrier is scratch built from styrene and brass and the mg34 is a mixture of parts with some scratch building, Aber barrel and plastic body.
Electrics are and IBU2 and it's running a servo recoil, henglong elevation and hidden reciver so far.
