OOPs, there is a dealer. Nice details too! but for 90$ plus shipping, I will probably make the remote MG mount and cast mantlet and travel lock myself.

Hi You Can test the I.R. emitter with out another tank to shoot all you need is a digital camera with a screen ,just look at the I.R.emmitter while looking through the camera ,and fire the tank it should show up as a blueish light,it works with all my tanks easy way to check they are working.

Hi Xrad . Thanks for the tips Ive made my pot cast mantlet from milliput . Making it in sections so it drys better . I shaved of the edges of the square armoured mantlet . I did this before I read your posts . I have also removed ( but broken ) the IR LED from the front . I did pull the cables through into the tank . Ive managed to do this without removing the mantlet . Although I did have to loosen it to remove the IR LED . Theres a link on one of the Stug posts from a German eBay sight and a guy has a resin slide on pot cast mantlet , the later loaders(?) hatch and RC MG , mount and gun . I have also removed the incorect track guard mounted light , jib mounting points and the fold down MG shield . looking forward to more of your work its very good. The working light on the fronts very nice .

All the best Andy (Litlletankman)

Thanks guys! Good Idea with the Milliput...i have some on the bench but forgot about it (buried under three projects!)

there is quite group of Stug builders here. I think this is a good kit to build because you can add much detail in a little space and time and of course , all the variants...so hard to go wrong. I am sure most of us can find something to like in the different variants.

Schurzen frame. still have to do lower retainers. Scratch built from brass.

Thanks H.L.Doyle!!

NOTE: my frame side rails are backwards...easier to solder like this..but not accurate!

Hi looking good like the skirt mounting frames , very good work.
