Hello gentlemen,

Have another build for your approval, critique, impressions. Just to kinda show I'm not only building softskin Opel's

This is the 1/35 Dragon Imperial series StuG III G. It's also the first full PE set I used on a build. So, it was an education. PE is the Eduard set which was great to work with.
Hope ya enjoy, all comments are always welcome
Thank you

Dale

Very nice work.

Looks very nice! May I point out two items, though?

1) German antennae were not "whip" type that you could see on US equipment. German antennae were hollow rods -- they wouldn't bend like that.

2) I could be wrong but I don't ever recall seeing the remote mounted MG with the butt stock in place. I would think the crew would keep it secured as it needlessly lengthened the MG, possibly being an obstruction for the loader's hatches' opening.

Very good camo job, nice subtle weathering not overdone. I like it.

Thanks for looking in and taking the time to post guys

Roy, I had no idea of those two facts, thank you. The remote MG was put in place as Dragons instructions.... well, instructed, but that doesn't mean they were accurate at all.

You wouldn't happen to have a pic of how the tail of the MG would look do you? I'd imagine right at the separation between the stock and MG body there would be a collar of some sort? So that tail should be drilled/ hollowed out?

Appreciate everything guys

Hi Dale: I don't know the exact method but there seems to be some type of screw-on cap. To alter the 1/35 MG, I would just cut it off and round the edges. I'll try to find an image for you.

I think I found it Roy

Went through some other posts elsewhere and found one you had posted in.

Sweeeeeeet build. Glad the fixes weren't serious.

Great camo scheme nice build.

Hello Dale
This is a very good work, thanks for sharing.

Great work Dale & great photography too. What sort of base are you going to put it on ,because I think it deserves something that does it justice but something that is simple would make it even more outstanding ?

Dale

Looks great - you might, however, like to check which colour "spots" were adjacent to which camo colours (they weren't all yellow) - there was a definite pattern. However, having said that, yours could well be a field applied application for which the rules may well not apply.

Regards

Nice painting and weathering, but you stuck on the MG shields upside-down! The cut-outs should be on the lower edge, not the top. Little late to fix that now!
