Thats real nice Mr painless, I reckon tanks go around in cycles...........Jagdtigers, Tigers, PzIV's, Shermans, and so on
They all seem to have a burst of popularity in phases.
I'm doing a late war StuGIII for the guy who paints my figures(the one I did the brass work for on the PzIV) and I dont know what it is about them, but they are just genuine fun to build.

Good morning Gentlemen,
Thank you for checking out the Ausf B on the move, stranded, etc. *chuckles* As many times as I have had to remove stones from the tracks of my vehicles, remount\repair tracks due to stones and debris in the track run, it really indicates just how important a Good Driver was to the general welfare of the tank. Yessir, that little StuG is a real runner. Taigen really got the lower hulls right on those Pz IIIs and StuG IIIs. As for my work, years ago, it held up for the most part. I removed tape that was used to bundle wires (Hey!, I was still new to the Biz ;o) and still need to go in and finish cleaning up the inside and rebundling the wiring with plastic ties. It is all running and gunning again so I am pleased with yesterdays work. I am hoping, Herman, that StuGs are regaining interest in the Forum again. They are fun to build and once all the electronics compacting is gotten past, a ton of fun to run as well.
regards,
Painless
...Here for the Dawn...

Top-drawer, like all of your builds Painless. It's always great to see some early-war armour, it makes a pleasant change from all the big cats. Early StuGs are a favourite of mine; they have a way of looking both tough and cute at the same time, like a French bulldog rendered in steel plate.
