Resin hull all glued:-



I had to add a stiffner across where the Glacis plate joins to keep the top straight.

Nice builds shaping up in this campaign!
Shawn, your Jagd-75 looks like menace...
Bill, looking forward to see your multimedia Stug-IV assembled!

My Pavesi got it's taprs:


I'll add more weathering next year...

Angel, the tarp on the Pavesi looks terrific.
Richard, good start on your build.
Happy modeling everyone. Bill

Update on my Stug IV.

Made schutzen rails and all the missing tank tools out of styrene.
I also fitted the SHQ figures into the hatches.

The schutzen brackets, spare road wheels, and better detailed hatches came from the Revell rebox of the Matchbox Stug IV.

Nearly ready for the painting phase. Having a blast on this project. Happy modeling everyone. Bill

Shaping up well Richard. It would not be a resin kit without some bracing having to be added. See back to one of my posts for the resin brace in my Striker



Angel, just gets better and better. Nice work on the tarps.

Bill, excellent scratch build work there. At least the Matchbox JP IV parts went to a good home...

Okay I have completed 2 other builds, so back to this one...

The windscreen , I have broken the original resin part so I rebuilt it with styrene and resin bolts.


I add all bolts missing around doors.




Don't forget to add towing hook, it is not depicted in instructions. Part is from Hobbyboss kit (C11).





I have made the junction between the windscreen and engine hood. I have used putty and styrene to make the tarp.

Coming along nicely Alex. A lot of hard work paying off there

Peter thank you for your comments, hope to see your built here.

Peter, your build is progressing nicely.
Alex, love seeing all the detailed work you've put into your kit.
Bill

Update on my Stug IV.

Making some shutzen shields using styrene sheet and fine wire.
Once done, I should be ready to paint this little Beastie!
Good luck to everyone on their projects.
Bill

William thank you. Interesting updates on your STUG.

Heres my update:-



Wheels on and now joining track sections together>

My Pavesi is put on hold now.
I decided to enter the gun it tows(8.8 cm. FlaK 18) in the Anti-Aircraft Campaign starting Feb 1st.Once I build and paint the gun,I will weather both gun and tractor in one run.

I see interesting builds here, so I'll keep peeking.

A little more progress on my resin Triaros APC. It is a Big Chuck of resin With a lot of nooks. Time consuming to paint, but it is beginning to look nice.

More to follow soon

It certainly is Jesper.

The fun starts now Richard - resin tracks. Hope everything goes well for you.

The schurtzen look very nice Bill. Could have saved the time and not removed the resin from around the wheels

Angel you are making me wait!!! You are not an really...

Richard, your build is progressing nicely.
Jesper, great paintwork on your APC.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes on my project.
Bill

Update on my Stug IV.

Base coat and camouflage pattern have been applied to my Stug. Decals and weathering are up next.
Good luck to everyone on their projects.
Bill

Nice camouflage pattern !

Thanks for the comment, William.

Nice job on the camouflage on your StuG IV - especially considering the scale.

Peter,
My GF keeps telling me I am not...
Now, when there are two people telling me the same thing-and they don't know each other...-they might be right,right?

;)

Jesper, nice job on your Triaros!
Bill, thumbs up for the ambush camo, especially given the scale!
Keep on modelling, mates!

Update on my Stug IV.

The kit had no decals, so I dove into my spares and found some appropriate items. Micro Set and Micro Sol snugged them into the zimmerit nicely.

Decal work is done. Now the weathering phase can start. Yea!

Started painting the SHQ figures. These guys will add a lot of character to the Stug.

Thanks for viewing. Happy modeling everyone! Bill

Looking good, Bill.

I have now to upload again all pics of my model with another hosting photos website because the one I used since 2009 is now out of buisness ! Bad.
