I think it came out great!! How was the tracks to put together? I've yet to do a set of magic tracks and they scare me, not wanting to ruin the model,thanks

Great job I need to do a Stug and this looks like a good kit.
Only thing I might add is that center piece I think is leather in middle of the Hatch so a brown leather color would be correct.
But then again could be black also.
So a G version.
Any hangs in the Kit looks real good from here?

Great job, Craig! Especially considering it is your first panzer.
The only little nitpick would be that the tracks seems to sack the wrong way. The top bulges/bends on the tracks are not on the return rollers, but a little ofset to one side. That looks strange.
Overall great job - thanks for sharing

Thank you for all the comments...The Kit is awsome, its a very good kit, not hard to build, its just a little difficult for me being an aircraft builder, but any armor builder will be very happy with this kit, the track links are no problem, Ive looked at some posts about building magic links, and I use Tanex 7.R for all my building, and it worked great for building the links, you sort of have to work fast but other then that it was pretty easy...And yes the one side of the track is off just a hair as far as the rise and sag of the links...OH WELL, its only my second tank build ill get better from watching all of you....Thank you again

Craig -
Concur with all! Great looking Stug! Keep at it, maybe you'll work some armor for a while before going back to the dark side!
Cheers!
Tim

That stug is a beauty. Great paint and weathering. If that is only your second armor build then I should quit!
Cheers

I did that kit a few months ago. It is really nice. You did a great job.
