Hi everyone!
After modelcollect announced their stug e100 and e100 while i had two e100's one being resin with homemade "krupp" turret and other being dragons 1/72 e100. Dragons e100 has its drivers and radio operators hatches bacwards and i didn't fancy fixing that so i converted into tank destroyer after having it painted for half a year. Anyway here is building process:
First shape

Assembled but needs filling and all the bits and pieces on roof are dry fit

Filled and ready for paint

Painted

Tracks on and last pic so far

Would like to hear your opinion and criticism.

Karl,

I always like a good conversion or scratch-build. Nice job repurposing to get the job done. I would recommend a few fixes to help it out. First is the putty, try to smooth it out, im sure you tried but sand paper or metal fingernail file works wonder. Just take your time. Next, the transition from the new turret to the hull I would recommend using plastic or fixing that putty too to make it look like some additional plates. Last use that putty to make weld seams along the plate areas and that will help it with the look.

Just a few suggestions. I am by no means an expert just offering a bit of advice. Keep it up and have a great modeling day.
