I think that looks pretty good, Tiger, except the spot under the mantlet that isn't painted, but other than that it is great.

Oh man you gotta love the stugs man they look marvelous.

Great job on that stug and that price belongs to it?? well that`s a well deserved award. Great job dude I love it, great paintjob and I like the stowage on the rear deck and also the tracks are really good. Great natural sag are those aftermarket tracks or are it normal plastic separate links?? What is the manufacturer of te Stug??

congrats you have made a fine beasty of her..

I'm with Rob, the only one thing I can see is too much contrast between the spot under the mantlet and the rest of the vehichle. For the rest I think that's outstanding.
Bravo!!!

Great work, I love a StuG. The only thing I notice is that you need one drop of black paint in the muzzle. I think this kit has jus the right amount of weathering. Keep up the good work.

Very nice stug. I love the detail you added to the deck. The weathering in the running gear is great.

Very nice! I couldn't agree more with what has been said previously. One more thing though. What is the white spot than can be seen through the gun barrel?

Good looking Stug Tiger1. Congratulations for the Award.
Is it Tamiya ? The tracks are the ones of the kit ?

Thanks guys. The spot under the manlet is painted and weathered.LOL I think that the flash from the camera made it look brighter then the rest of the model. The tracks are Workable Model Kasten and the kit is from Tamiya.

Hi Tiger Butch Cassidy here. Very good StuG. Great effect on weathering and extra equipment. I love these particular assault guns. Mean looking machine!
