For your criticism, I present Tamiya StuG lll, pimped up with Eduard PE Zimmerit, Hauler PE detail, some Voyageur detail, and cement 'armor'.

Kind of hard to see in the pics, but it looks like you did a nice job on it....especially considering it's a 1/48.

What's there to criticize? Very nice job. Would look good in a diorama, but not absolutely necessary. Congrats

Thanks. It will eventually end up in a dio when I build more vehicles and get more figures. Speaking of figures, the loader is from Hecker-Goros, and the commander is either Warriors or Mig. I'm not a big fan of Tamiya's kits, but I do like the scale. AFV Club and Bronco have shown that 1/35 quality can be produced in 1/48. And now Mirror Models have announced an entry (or four) into this scale, as well as Airfix releasing a couple more softskins.

Thnx for the info on the figs - much appreciated.

As for Tamiya, it's a bit of a mixed bag. All can be improved of course but there are some real gems in their listing, the Marders and Matilda for example.

Now hopefully Mirror gets enough sales to stay with it as their softskins are superb.
