Starter Pictures. Given that both have had some work done to them already, I'm going to try to do two kits. Today's front page was pretty non-descript so I went with the sports page. I'll take build photos as I go and post them in bunches.

I started the Italeri's Stug IV this afternoon.
Worked on the suspension parts, so far not much done.
I'll take some pics tomorrow.

Still wondering paint scheme & decals.
I might try a similar scheme I did on a SturmTiger a few months ago.

It will be great to have you on board Marc! What kit did you decide on?

Looking forward to those pics John. The StuG IV will be nicely represented here it looks.

I thought so.
Flying here to finish would really make your build expensive!

Would flying to the states be called an (After Market add on) or just criminally insane for wasting future modeling $$$

Well, I had hoped to have some progress pics today but got called into work, then hit the river but at least I got a pic of the kits together. This campaign looks really cool so far. I wanted to join with a Stug F as well. It's going to have some winterketten tracks. I'll use the latter roadwheel and square mantlet with RB L48 gun. I'm toying with putting it on the Tamiya B kit as only the superstructure is different I think. That way I could still do an old Bandai D version another day. Any tips/info welcome!

Hi all,

I've settled on a Stug III Ausf.G


I have a bunch of PE as well.


Now I need to hit the books and pick a theater and unit.

Have you guys checked out the new kit, the Sturmgeschütz III (Fl) flamethrower tank from Cyber Hobby? Here is the review for it https://armorama.kitmaker.net/review/7764 right here on ARMORAMA.

I am all StuGed out or it would be my build for sure. I might pick it up as it's supposed to be a limited edition but since I have announced and planned my choice I'll stick to it.

But that doesn't mean that there cannot be a Sturmgeschütz Build PT II? Right?
