Hi Tim,
Very nice work. The camouflage and weathering blend very well. I'd go .

Very nice! With mine nearly done building, I know I have some serious paint work to do to get mine remotely close to yours!

Tim, a great job. I have this kit with the upgrades. How difficult were the PE fenders? One comment. The lift hook on the left air intake looks to be upside down. I think it was on this site that someone else had the same problem and it came to light that the kit instructions were wrong.

I plan on saving all the pics you posted to look at when I build mine.

One comment. The lift hook on the left air intake looks to be upside down. I think it was on this site that someone else had the same problem and it came to light that the kit instructions were wrong.



Don't know it's from the same source but I read on another forum about the hook being show the wrong way on the instruction sheet. The guy was also talking about some problems with building the PE fenders and decided to use the plastic ones as they were very well detailed and it was almost shamefull not to use them. What's your opinion on this?

Very impressive built you got there. And the paintjob/weathering seems topnotch to me Like many others I would like to see some interior shots if possible.

Thanks for sharing

Aaaaaaaaaah!
The new DML Stug!
If you didn't glue the top, can you show us how the interiors look like once the model is painted? I'm just curious...

Hi everyone.. thanks so much for the compliments. I wasnt aware of the lifting hook. Guess I should look at my references to see. Thanks for pointing it out. I did take some pics of the interior. I submitted my article on both Cyber Hobby sets , hopefully Jim will have that up soon to answer your questions. But I will say this, your right about using the kit fenders. Theyre nice, and honestly,in my opinion, unless your buying the complete package from Cyber Hobby to get the discount, Id spend my $16.99 per set elsewhere. Just my opinion..

Hi Tim. Excellent as usual.
Love the extra wheels with the track around them. I have never seen this before .. model or in images of the "real thing" . Is this a kit/update addition or something you added yourself?

hmm, for some reason my reply to you frank got deleted or didnt post at all. There are photos of Stugs from Das Reich during the Kursk battle with the spare tracks like this. I found some great pics in JJFs Operation Citadelle Vol 2.
