Stug---looking good so far----lots of detail which will dry brush up nicely. Who makes the kit? Also have you applied a muzzle cover or is that masking because of the paint job?
Keep us posted.
ps: The "translucent green" on the gun mount is not the proper shade (lol).

Nice work so far. One small thing. You might want to cut a piece of aluminium foil to fit the slide and slide it under the breech to hide the seam?
Like the paint scheme.

Mmmm, it looks to me that the fire control system (the one with a screen and a keyboard) is a bit too modern and oversized compared to the kit... Anyway I think that you have to work a bit on the breach seams. You can try with diluted putty applied with an old paintbrush, in the way Steve mentioned or using very thin plasticard...

The kit is DML's new mold!!! The breech is something i plan to address I don't know why theymolded it with that cleft in the parts. I think I'll try the alluminum foil trick!!! thanks for your comments. more pics to follow soon!!!! STUG
PS. The barrel is from Lion Roar!!! I used the muzzle cover because the brake provoded in the set had mold seem at the end where it meets the barrel!!! rather difficult to fix!!! but this worked out nicely because I plan on using the travel locks anyway!!!

Ola Steveus,
Don't mean to get you into trouble but I noticed two things :
You are Pig nr 9
You drink coffee from a mug with a giant picture of a wolf
