DML's Stug III kit #6033 built OOB. This was my first time using PE and I screwed up really bad so I left off the back rails. I freehand airbrushed with Humrol colors using a Badger 200NH, washed with oils, dry brushed with Humrol. Lay the criticism on thick.
I noticed the fenders are not straight, but every time I try to fix it, it gets worse. I'm leaving it be, before I destroy it on accident.

Looks pretty good to me! I would recommend mud, mud and more mud. The road wheels and return rollers are way too clean. I know there are some folks who would stone me for saying this but I'll say it anyway. Mud can cover a lot of misteaks, I mean mistakes.
Keep up the good work, L Witter

I agree, adding some weathering to the lower hull would add to the realism of your model! I think the washes and the like really bring out the detail and the cammo looks great, but it's missing something... and I think it's dirt! Good job man! Maybe some dullcoat on it first to get rid of some of the shine. This will help blend in the decals a little better too! Good job over all man!

Good job. Some more weathering would be good as already mentioned. Dont worry about the fenders - I have seen StuGs with fenders bend in more strange ways than this. After all it is a combat vehicle.
