Great build, Rob59: yes, some lying on the deck would be excellent!
Great similie, Bix: "[M]ore chips than a Friday takeaway."

Looks great. Every time I see one of these great Stug builds I realize it's a big hole in my collection.

Hi Martin
Yes, these are great vehicles which have lots of possibilities to build your own!

Hi guys.
I wanted a StuG, in a worn out white wash, towards the end of the Winter at the Ostfront.
That white wash was added with a brush at the beginning of the Winter, by its crew.
By now, almost Spring, the white wash has been partially washed off by rain, snow, Grenadiers climbing on/off the tankdestroyer.

Some of you for whom Winter White Washes is not their piece of cake, better switch to another Topic….
At first I was very disappointed after I did that White Wash disaster!
But after some Belgium Special Beers, the world looked quite different, and in a way I started to like it!
Did quite a few changes in the meanwhile, bit this is it.
The maingun with the Saukopf are just layed on, not connected to any electronics inside.
That‘s why they are a bit further towards the superstruckture.
Later, when connected, they move a bit more to the front of the TD.
Now some pics…..some guys will hate me for this….
