No, STuGs aren't allowed because they're technically assault/self-propelled guns.

ta Patrick, will run some by you first,

ta for the heads up Scott,It dose look nicely detailed as well,
having a look at the tracks,there a rubber type thing ,but in link and length,


so is there a problem to join them,?

I think they are the spare track sets Monica. Why Italeri have used rubbery plastic is anyone's guess!

[monica]

mm I have never found the right type of glue to use when gluing the rubbery type of track,


they seam to always pop apart,?

[Guest]

Nice choice Monica, will be following this build

[monica]

so let sit and cure for a day or so,

Dirty it up a bit & you'll be fine! I think the circular things on top are the carburerrors
