I bought this a couple of days ago for only $4.99 and it came with a 15cm Sturm-Infanteriegeschutz 33 too. I finished painting it yesterday and today I put the decals on.
How you think?
And yes, it's in 1/144 scale. It's from DML Panzer Korps line. Sometime later today I plan on applying a small wash to some parts. I'm not going to weather it much if at all because it's so small. Maybe some dry brushings as well. After that I'll put a final coat of matte laquer on.

Looks great, especially in such a tiny scale. The only thing I question is the muzzle of the gun. I think you may have gone a bit overboard with the soot build up.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be soot or what. I just saw it on the painting guide so I put it on.

Maybe it the black lacquered paint on the gun barrel . It was not covered by the camo .

Thanks guys. I ended up giving it a bit of dirt anyway with some AK and Mig stuff and some pigments. Also gave it a bit of a wash.

Ok. Hows this? I believe I'm finished. I might do a tiny diorama on a rattle can top sometime. I also did a bit of light weathering.

Nice job on those diminutive tanks. Incredible detail for such a small scale. A diorama would be great for the Stug.
Have fun.

I am thinking about doing a diorama on something the size of a rattle can cap. As it completely fits on it. That or getting a Sherman and making a small 4" x 5" scene. Might try to source some German and American soldiers as well.
