Wow, this weekend I worked a lot posting pics.
Here is my StuH 42 from Tamiya. IŽm thinking in placing this model with the Jagdpanther in a dio. Coments will be appreciated.

Great job. How did you do the streaks on the upper hull? Are they paint or pastels?

both the tanks are very nice...well done and painted
I think you can do a nice dio. do you have an idea about it?
only a little suggest, don't put only the tanks without any figures. With the figure you can understand the dimensions of the tank
I'm waiting to se thee finished dio photos... :-)
congrats for your excellent works

I like it,it is a clean build,freshly washed?
Pssst,you are missing the lifting loop on the right rear of the superstructure.Did it get shot off?Put in a scar where the offending enemy bullet hit to rip off the loop. (++) (++) (++) (++) (++) (++)

OOPS,your right side tracks are reversed! Not good traction on that side!

Another great example CAS. the paint is superb. With all the great examples on this site I have finally got a Tiger to build. It is the Tamiya King Tiger/Porsche Turret.

Drybrushing with Humbrol Enamels. It have some pastels in the general weathering also.

Thanks TankCarl:
Your right, the lifting loop is missed but not cause of a shot. IŽll check my refrences about the tracks & fix this little things. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks Venom:
Yes, I agree IŽll use figures. The idea that I have for the dio is a scene placed in Hungary in Feb or March 1945.
The StuH 42 is from the Stug Brig 303 (see the insignia). For the Jagdpanther yet I donŽt know but I think it could be a vehicle of a Schwerer Panzer Jager Abt. atacched to the LSSAH (leibstandarte) division. I have to do some research about that. If you have info about LSSAH & Jagdpanthers in that period it will be much appreciated.

Hello !!

Very nice work.
The Stug is nicely weathered...
Only thing I would work on are the markings...
they are much to white compared to the rest of the weathering...

I checked and your right ! IŽll have to reverse that track. Hope not to break the track in the process.

Nice work here. I like how the colors are muted together. Looks like the camo was hastily applied in the field. Excellent weathering.

Cheers !

Comments please ???? How about - WOW, or Nice, or Kickin'
Very well done.

One really niggly little deal - how about a rope or strap on the gas cans to hold them in place. I see that there are a couple of different cofigurations of the gear so you may not be ready for that it planned so ignore this if that's the case.
