Here are a few pics of my Tamiya StugIII Ausf.B.
Nothing special. O.O.B. build painted with Tamiya acrylics.
Feedback is welcome.

Nice work overall, clean build and paintjob. You may want to cut the carier film of the front red tac sign with sharp hobby knife. The monster fly on the left front fender is a nice touch

:-)

good work!

Good job. You may want to watch for mold seams on tools - see the side of the fire extingusher for example. And silver paint on the tow cable ends looks out of place to me. I think these would be better in dark grey. The end of the cables you have painted black, they should be the same as the rest of the cable you did paint a nice color. The small front lights and horn are not fully seated. This can be avoided by trimming and test fitting the parts. Very nice wood tones on the tools, but just an FYI the wire cutter handles are not wood but bakelite - thus a red - red brown color. Any wood ones you see on museum vehicles are restoration mistakes.
Overall a good effort - pay a little more attention to the small stuff and you will have a super build!

Heh, heh. That's my Vincent Price figure on the fender. What's really funny is that I got this camera 2 weeks ago and that earlier in the day I was trying to get close-ups of insects to learn how to zoom in. Nothing seemed to work. Then, unwittingly a fly poses on my stug! Thanx for all the tips fellas. An extra set of eyes is really helpful. I think I can fix the problems with a little effort.
