PE Screens, Stug/PzIII

Post by Max-U52 »

Can anyone point me to a build thread or instruction sheet for the photo etch screens for the Stug III? The intake screen on each side at the rear. Not sure which goes on top or if I should remove the plastic under the area where the screen will be. There are plastic braces under there that will cause a problem.

Thanks, Guys.

Max,
There are snap in replacements for those intake pieces made to use the mesh grills, I used them on the StuG Ausf. B. RCTank.DE has them in stock I believe.
regards,
Painless

They sure are. Mr Painless did it the best way possible.
I mucked around & carved the buggery out of my standard ones, got the same result, but lost a lot of heartbeats & liver function to do it !!

I will not let your effort go to waste, Herman, I will learn from it.

I just ordered the same parts Painless used. :)
