    1/87 SCALE STUG. lV

    I took a Roco Mk lV, a Roco Stug lll and a Trident Pak 40 Bbl. Shook the box and this is what came out.

        Thanks Gents,
        Seems I can't fool the experts. I did stir in a few bits here and there. Also it was my first attempt at creating sag in the track assembly as they always remind me of rubber bands stretched over boggies.
        Cheers, Rick H.

              Looking good Rick
              Any plans for a small base to display it?

              Cheers

                Thanks Steven,
                I might have a shot or two of it on my one and only diorama. I'll post it when I get back home. I'm currently out on the job.
                Cheers,

                  Nice job sir, the StuG IV is one of my favorite WWII German vehicles. I like the ambush scheme paint job!

                        Rick.
                        I think you did undersell your self as Tim has said, that's a really neat build. The sag on the tracks was the first thing that caught my eye, very hard to achieve when I try with the kits offering.

                          Thanks John,
                          The tracks required special tooling and judicious application of heat and pressure in the right places to prevent cracking.
                          Glad you like it, Rick H.

                            Hi Rick
                            Definitely underselling your work. Looks excellent and at braille scale even more impressive.
                            Jim
