Seems to have been a rash of Tamyia StuG IV sightings on armorama lately So here is my contribution #:-)
I have been working on this beastie for the past few weeks, may not be real accurate, but it was a very enjoyable build :-) Mostly finished, Hand painted in acryllics. I also scratch built the retaining strap (bracket ?) for the spare tread on the top front hull. Soda cans come in handy

Beautiful job!!! I didn't see this in this stage of creation, got home and Sel said.. get on armorama and take a look at some pics. So I did. Beautiful work!! I love the chain and the rusted muffler. The detailing is, as always, excellent. I love the extras as well.. very talented and gifted artist. Can't wait to see your next build! Keep up the good work and as always, remember to have fun. If its not fun, its not worth it.

Nice one Selrach, I can't comment on the "accuracy" of the Stug as it is many years since I built one but the "feel" of the model is right which for me is 99%..... One comment I would make is the chain on the front seems a little out of scale.... I would probably replace it. I use chain produced for model ships which seems to work just fine... Great stuff Jim

Looking damn good, Lord Sel, your expertise in drybrushing and painting is once again evident here. Now you make me wanna take out my Stug and do it. Let's make it a Stug Month!!!

That's a great addition to the Stug Parade!
I really like the paint job. Great for brush work. Well Done. You should post in progress pics of your next one. This came out very well.

Man that muffler looks good. What does your "muffler process" consist of?

Excellent Selrach. Its good to see real talent shining through. Its nice to see a model finished the "real way" and looking this good. This proves that an airbrush is not the answer to all your prayers. It might make life easier ........ but..............
The camo looks great and great use of dry brushing ....

Very well done.The chain looks fine to me,just scale out the size,and it looks like something the crew may have "liberated" to help get the Stug out of any sticky situation.
