guys... I just finished priming this Tamiya StuG IV for the campaign... how is it? Also, any ideas as to the colors that I should use for this build? Dark Yellow... is that the right color?





That's all for now... more pictures in the gallery..

Hi, Did you prime it with the sideskirts in place? If so I would remove them, fill the knock out mark on the left front one (inside) and re-prime them again, as well as the area behind them

Alright.. I see what you mean John... I'll get it filled and reprimed

Yup.. I primed it together with the side skirts in place. I was also wondering.. should I spray the sideskirts seperate from the main body or together with it?

Thanks Alex... the reply was fast! Thanks Guys..

I would most definatly paint them seperatly. Also When you prime for Dark Yellow, I would use a dark brown color. This can act as a pre-shade as well as a prime. Then when you spray the Dark yellow, you can let a little of the dark brown show through at the edges of panels etc.
