Very nice work, Charlie. Your paint job on the Dunkelgrau looks awesome. Will look real good once weathered up. Are you going to do a crew for those open hatches ?
Cheers !

I really like that vehicle! Did you have any fit issues with it?
I built the A version of the same StuG, and am assuming that the kits are essentially identical. (On the A version you have to hack off and relocate the first return roller, and sand off all the fittings on the rear deck, but other than that they should be the same) I had a HECK of a time getting the armored "boxes" that stick out over the fenders to fit as well as yours do. You don't have any gaps and the seam looks VERY clean - good job on that - I know I was having a hard time getting that to fit right. How did you do that - any secrets?
Yea - those ejector pin marks on the tracks are fun too - aren't they! I gave up and got a set of Friuls - you must have patience
Good job-
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
I don't remember having fit problems.. Maybe cause I had the fenders on ahead of time?
I would much rather due Fruil like you, but I decided on doing OOB at the start... I saw your Stug and the Aber etchwork looks great!!! Definately makes that a Model that deserve's Fruils!!!
Robert.. yep some figures will go in there once I learn how to do figures! ;-)
