Looks good Blitz

You should rerubberize the tires.  I usually get a drill with a soft dremel brush in it.  Take the tracks off, and use the drill to spin the wheels  As the wheels are spinning use a brush to paint on the tires.  This is fast and easy to do, and you end up with a very nice defined tire.  Takes about ten minutes to paint them all using this technique.

Nice Stug you have there, I will get one when finances allow. I was watching a Discovery Knowledge documentary this morning about the history of the German tanks. Fascinating stuff, especially the T34 and Tiger evolution. The Stugs looked really good when all beaten up and battlefield weary, which is exactly how yours looks!

Thanks,  wibblywobbly

It goes into its first IR battle tomorrow! I want to learn more about how the Germans used them, they called them assault tanks!! I see it more as a sniper/cover tank for a larger King Tiger, Panther or Tiger 1 on the IR battle field!
