), for me to start this build thread, so here goes.Ever since I got a metal lower hull for my Panzer IV, I have wanted to do something with the plastic hull it left behind. The original MFU that came with the Panzer IV had a defect, so it could only turn the turret to the right, but not left. Otherwise the board worked as it should, so I quickly decided I wanted to do a Stug, since it had no turret and I could use both the Underhull and MFU, without sacrificing another PZ IV in the process. Recyckling to save the planet and all that stuff
Anyways, so far I have not done much, but do the basic assembly of the Stug hull and done the suspension mod as on my Pz IV.
My plans are to get a Taigen/Asiatam recoil unit for the hull, as I cant get a HL unit to fit in there. Think this will take some time and require a few modification inside the hull, as the space is very limited.
For the lower hull, I will be installing some "ajustable" arms for the idler wheel and some metal holders for the return rollers (Had them left over from the Pz IV build).
Will also try and fix a pair of 5:1 gearboxes to go inside. This will also be a learning experience. I accidentally from the little knob on on of my hex screws, while trying to adjust the gear on the motor. Need to get the small screw out and replace it with a new one. The other gearbox needs a replacement bushing, since I made a bubu while trying to install them in my KV (long story short: I was stupid
)So. Picture time...
