Well now that I have finished my tamiya 1/35 Kv-2 I am looking for a new project.

The kv-2 went great! ( I will post pics later )

Now, in your opinion, should I build an Italian m14? Or a Finnish stug III?
If you don't know, or maybe you could recommend something else? Thx in advance!

I would recommend Tamiya's Panzer IV ausf. D. It's a shake and bake kit. It will give you a chance to focus on the finish, instead of whether part C 25 faces left or down.

Tamiya's StuGs always build up into a great model. On the other hand, if the M14 is near the quality of their Semovente, you won't be disappointed there, either.

My personal choice would be the Stug.

The StuG is a more recent kit overall (90s kit upgraded recenlty with Finish specific parts), the M13/40 is a 70s kit upgraded with new tracks, some newly tooled parts and new figures.

I would go for the StuG...

Cheers,

Christophe
