Hi DutchBird:

Thanks for your kind comments!. Now I am working for paint the wheels and tracks.

Looking good but...if I may add something:
1, The periscope covers look too thick now. Perhaps you should thin them out a little.
2, Why go to the bother of making the periscope glass from putty? Make them from clear plastic stock instead, much easier and more realistic.
3, What are the holes on the front of the bulkhead in the last photo of the front of the machine? If this is supposed to be the flaws in the concrete add on then they are too big. Cover it with putty and get some green scouring pad and before the putty dries, dab it with the scourer to make SMALL imperfections.

Hello Desert-Fox:
Thanks for your comments: Regarding the periscopes, they are in the correct size and were adjusted adequately but maybe the photo did not help to appreciate it. Even I have clear plastic in my material box, as modeler I like to taste other kind of materials and, at the same time, give different ideas to other modelers who do not have the usual material. About the concrete block I already covered it, but did not take a photo. I also read the Painting guide which is interesting, but I prefer to use our Mexican acrylics which are similar to the Vallejo ones; anyway thanks for your recommendations.

Excellent work rtvmodeler! I am following this with a lot of interest. As I build nearly everything OOB, watching your steps gives me encouragement to attempt improvements. Looking good so far. Keep them coming!

I like your work. The little things like the track pins that you enhance is great. keep up the good work

Excellent work so far ATV... That's the Academy StuG IV right? So essentially it's a clone of the Tamiya StuG IV?

Anyhow, will you be doing any zimmerit on the model? I was under the impression that most StuG IVs were zimmeritted.

Looking better and better each time Rodolfo... It is a joy to foolw the build...

Hi friends:

thanks to all for the kind comments!, This Academy's Stug is some different to the Tamiya kit but the quality is the same (I think). I am painting the camuflage from Italy and France front without zimmerit. soon more photos!

Thanks again!
Rodolfo

Sorry Rodolfo but the Academy StuG IV is a direct copy of the Tamiya kit. When you place the kits side by side they are exactly the same except the detail is a bit softer on the Academy kit because it is a copy. You are doing a good job though with the kit.

Hi!

Adam, thanks for your kind comment and info. Here my sStug finished!. I applied oil wash and pastels and I added Greif periscopes. Thanks for your attention friends!
