Morning Bob.

I am saying nothing, though thinking about it it must be a change of heart, come on admit it you really want to do a T34 and in 4BO:upside:

Oh no i do not Sir:thumb2:

Go on Bob. I succumbed to the darkside and now I'm building a T 34.

Wash your mouth out Steve, how could you:sleeping2:

Right back on the land of the StuG

I have always followed Dragons plans by attaching the fenders to all parts of the superstructure then in one piece fitting to the hull, but, its fiddly and the fenders never sit quite right so.

Added the front section holding the drivers inspection hatches to the hull then fitted the fenders to the hull followed by the main section. This was fiddly but went ok and finally the engine deck just clicked into place, looks a lot better, thank god for that!




Not far to paint!

Bob
Not going to lower myself and associate with the comments above, just to say a Stug would be a good starting point.

Almost ready for paint






Used magic tracks for first time along with VMS slow dry glue, did not leave long enough on first side but other side left for 30 mins plus and the glue is excellent, tracks very flexible after 45 mins! They are not conected yet, hence the loose fit!

Not fitting the rack on the engine deck, will use on another StuG, used all the kit PE and after the great advice worked so much better.

Will for the first time spray black primer on the StuG including wheels/tyres. Then paint the wheels seperatly

Hope its looking the business??

Almost ready for primer





Added the skirts rails but typical Dragon plans are terrible, no location shown for the skirt attachments fitted
to the fenders!!

Added tools etc, having to think how to bend/ shape the metal wire supplied for the tow cables?

Waiting for some 1 35 chain to arrive
