Very nice painting - keep it going! Have to admire such work

nice build man, look forward to see ur desert camo and scratches

Agreed, keeps looking better with each update, love the the torn tire cover

Very like the very good job of detailing and paint thus far, looking forward to more installments.

Greg,Wu,Jeremyand Jimmy thank you for you kind comments.I gonna postin and you keep watching
see ya

After working very hard job efford finally I get a chance to going to modelling.
Its time for the main gun and turret.I started to detailing main gun structure including 20mm KwK 30 and Mg38.
As reference ;
20 mm main gun barrel from Gasoline - France
White pieces from styrene shet.
Grey parts from orjinal kit parts.
Yellow parts has been taken from Tamiya Flakverling 38.
Other brass colored materials from Haulers detail set.

Next step is for the turret detailing and final touches...

Normally Haulers set is providing some etxra details via this set.But some parts isnt fit good to original kit parts.Thats why I decided to create extra details from white styrene.
As you can see below , connection part of main gun chasee to turret made from H-Profile white stryrene instaead of brass one.




I sanded with a file one side until its flatted enough.So I have U-Shaped profile.

After glued 5 parts there is some small gaps to waiting to be filled with putty and sanded them too with a small file.
Bytheway I decided to change Mg38 barrel and kit orijinal parts with taken from Sd.Kfz 251 AFV Club's.

Result is very satısfied when compare with other brass parts.


Kit parts and any other detail sets is not providing optical sight tools.I create my own and added more more details suchs as hydrolic pipes...

Finally main gun is finished with so many details.







I like it result , I wish you liked too...

looking very nice mate! I built Tamiya's 1/48 Stug III a few years ago and it was fantastic kit. I mostly work in 1/35 but I may have to invest in some more 1/48 stuff

Be carefull budy , this kit isnt a mold of Tamiya's and doenst made from Tamiya's equal quality.Kit has terrible hard plastic and not enough in detail like any other 48th scale tamiyas

Nice model!.One of my favourites.
Good work!.

thank u for like it , its still favorite ones even I built done.

Lets start to painting , step by step...
First I applied bas coat for German grey but I mixed special tones....
From darker tones to highly lighted tone I mixed.Result is like...

After than started painting I decided to crosses made from masks.

Finally I get togather all parts and applied oil paints as filters.Pigments uesd for dust effects , with acrylic resin for wet mud in small parts.



I also aded to fronts side , woods tied with small chains in highly rusty conditions.

Congrats!

All your detail construction really shows well in the finished model. Awesome job
