The second of my StuG's to go through the revamping process.
This particular kit had taken a nose dive and both front sprocket wheels had broken. I replaced them with Matchbox Panzer III. A splash of paint for rubber on the smaller wheels made a huge difference.
I added a MG42 and once again had to fix a broken barrel. A anti ditching log was added.
Two down one to go! Model on...
Very nice Paul!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of Airfix stugs still sitting in their boxes in my cupboard but to be honest the thought of trying to put them together is not exciting me!
'By jingo's kingsleypark you are missing out on a real treat.
DeleteGet them out and rip into them, you will not be sorry.
Regards Paul
Hey Paul, nice work there!
ReplyDeleteSeems like the StuG is one of the better Airfix models :)
I still remember the nightmare of that Tiger-tank...
Go on, show us the last of these buggers ;)

Hi Mojo. On the money about the Airfix Tiger mate. The tracks are rubbish.

Great work again, very consistent my friend....
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran, I do like the consistent phrase. Cheers for that.
DeleteReally nice work Paul. Ya gotta love the Stug!
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, very underrated kit mate.
DeleteRegards Paul
Fab work...I'm inspired. I've some built and some are still unmade kits but I keep forgetting these were the back bone of the army. Forget my Tiger/Panther obsession I need to sort more Stug's. Thanks Paul.
ReplyDeleteCheers SRD (H).
DeleteI can see the need for Panthers, but I do think people get a little carried away with the Tiger's.
Bring on the StuG's!
Great stuff mate, they look even better in the flesh, I like the Airfix kits of this model too
ReplyDeleteThanks Al. Value for money as well.
DeleteGiddy up
Nice work mate. Good job.
ReplyDeleteHi Nick, cheers mate. Only $7.50 NZD new as well...Well that was a while ago.
DeleteRegards Paul
Every kit is a winner Paul, I think your personalization is spot on :)
ReplyDeleteThanking you Geordie. Little touches I think can add quite a bit to the feel of the kit.
