[Self-Propelled Artillary 25-26] Stug Ausf.G

Post by MrChef »

Quite a difference in size between the Jagdpanther and the Stug.

Image

Last Spring this was the best price I could find for this tank with all the metal. Just to show if you contact ToucanRC they will work with you.

Now time to develop a plan for this tenacious little bugger.

Lots of goodies have already been collected from Dave at Forgebear months back before all the stupid tariff :poop: Also from Taigen Tanks and some pieces from Battleground Models here in the states.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Taigen sprockets include both early and late war hub caps.

And what you don't see is Schurzen. I'm going to do a late 42 or early 43 Stug likely after the Third Battle at Kharkov to utilize those neat Winterketten Tracks and Schurzen wasn't introduced until May 43.

"...quite a haul of goodies for it mate." No kidding! Geepers, but I'd love to order a bunch of Panzerbling from Forgebear. But there is the money problem.

Ahhh remember that money thing and the hobby shop we were talking about the other day?

All of this stuff was procured last spring 7 months ago before and right at the point of the tariff talk. So all the old pricing, no tariffs or crazy shipping.

Forgot to mention, yours with the metal tracks looks better than mine with the plastic ones.
When I look at it, with some slack in the tracks, I wouldn‘t raise the return rollers either.
Looking good as it is!
And when you‘re planning to ad Schürzen, you won‘t see anything of that extra work.
Besides that, when I ran my StuG or Pnzr III, with their plastic tracks with the slack you have on yours, the tracks will constantly being thrown during outdoor rides!
