@Bob

Thanks for the help.
I didn't remember that dusted situation on the wheels, I will on the next build.
For the spare tracks, well I wanted to try different shades of steel / rusted , it served as a testbed.
And yes, I had fun doing this Orangebox kit !

@Greg
Thanks !
Feel free to use them as reference.
I'm glad to help, construction & painting steps are still fresh in my memory so feel free to ask during your build !

Great work John !

This cammo is cool !

Don't worry about the antenna PE part. I'm sure you will fix it with your great scratch building skills.

Belo trabalho !

Hey John, i have a question for you.
I have started my StuG for the StuG Campaign. I have run into alot of flash on the "A" sprue, which has upper and lower hull parts.
My question is do you believe the mufflers should be mounted flush on the rear bulkhead or should there be a slight gap between the muffler bodies and the bulkhead? My mufflers had a lot of flash and there is a buildup on the mounting points.
thanks

@Marco

Obrigado !
Thanks, it was quite an interesting project !

@Marc
Yes I found some flash too.
Are you talking about Step 4 / part A7 ?
I had some small problems adding MB1 , the fitting wasn't perfect, so I left a small gap between A7 and MB1.
I'm not sure if this answers your question

I mounted them on the rear bulkhead, not much gap.
The main problem I had there was to fit MB1.

I see what you mean about Part MB1. I haven't really found any photo refernces regarding it. But i also haven't spent too much time looking.
