This is the kit I started for the Tiger Campaign, and of course I didn't finish on time.
It's my 2nd SturmTiger, the first one was a Tamyia with some awesome metal shells,anyway the AFV is much better, detailing, fitting, don't mind the interior because even with all hatches open we can't see the inside details...
I was pretty pissed when getting 6 metal ammo for the Sturm, I detailed the interior and then you couldn't see a thing..
So here goes:
As you can see I am still working on the details around the "boxed bunker", I filled some holes in the back since I lost some very small parts (floor monster -- carpet's monster cousin..).
Also missing are the wheels & tracks, I want to take care of those after priming and painting.

Hi John,
Looking good so far but before you get the paint on theres a couple of things that need some attention. It looks like the side panels aren't attached correctly. There is a large gap on the rear right side and it looks like the zimmerit is peeling on the rear left side. It looks like the right side panel has been attached to far back which is also leaving a large gap at the front.
I think you should fix these issues as they are quite noticable. Apart from that its looking good, keep up it

I noticed that.
The zimm is peeling off.
I'll try to fix the gaps, but I'm still working on the wheels and then I'll fix those gaps.

Here's the latest pics of the AFV Sturm.
Up's & Down's:
- Paintjob was much fun, I really enjoyed the Camo.
- Before setting the tracks, the idler&sprocket wheels broke, this huge beast turned out to be a delicate flower after all...
