One great looking Stug. Beautiful detail all the way around. It looks "right." Would love to see a complete "walk around."

Thank you Mr SCHWERE, I know you have some outstanding examples of various tanks.
Once I return home I will do the 'walk-around' as you requested.

I will say , it does look 'right'..............thats part of the reason I feel this one has bought the most plain fun in the build.
All of mine have a particular meaningful place for various reasons, but this one was the "fun-est" !!
The Panther-Zu-Fuss Night Fighter was the most involved(someone called it ambitious) and the PzIII Munitionschlepper the least fulfilling but equaly as good as the others in most ways.

I reckon the tank you build and the feeling you get from it has a lot to do with the timing of the build..............are you rushed, are you waiting for parts, what was the one you did before it etc
But over all, Im real happy with the progress I have made as a builder, and certainly happy with the end results I have created from what I began with, and thats the entire point of doing it eh

This stug is awesome of realism.I like the T34 tracks for protection on the front chassis.

the reproduction of zimmerit look very well and the paint job is incredible. This stug is in my stug top 10...

It' s missing just a video outside now...

Thank you Mr Fred Sir, from such a talented fabricator like yourself, that is a humbling compliment .
I shall complete the helmets and trial a tarp for the mantlet once I return home.
The T 34 track idea is from a period picture, I also added a section under the concrete armour as I have read was done at times.

Again, thank you for the kind words Mon Ami

A 'walk around' as requested.

The mantlet tarp just did not sit right, so its shelved for now.

"StuG III , Russia, 1943...............

Good morning, Herman,
Realism = Achieved! This is definitely a StuG that has been to see the Elefant ( pardon the pun ) ;o)

That's outstanding I'm just a novice in comparison

Cheers Mr Spartan, I'm glad you like the completed project.
I consider myself far from an expert compared to so many in here, I'm just thankful to learn techniques & have a go, then share with everyone.
Its one thing to 'want-to' but another entirely to 'do & show' and put a project out for all to see.
Thats what this

A- sickness ?
B- obsession ?
C- addiction ?
D- compulsion ?

Its multi choice, you choose !!

E- hobby is we all do is all about after all................having a go
