Great battle damage,How big a mine was it that blew off all of the running gear?
Don't forget the wire from the side marker lights that runs from the back of the lights across the top of the fender,nad down to the area behind the front head lights.
Did you use the kit gun,or go for an A/M one? Jordi L/24 's have the muzzle cap included.

LOOKING GOOD STUG ! I can't wait to start mine ( Ausf B ).
Look forwrd to seeing your's finished .."in all it's glory ! " Nice job with the dry transfer to the lead foil. That is certainly very effective and add's to the realism.

Nice Stug Steve and expecially the added touch of the flag.

With the weathering it will be an excellent addition to your past endeavors! :-)

Nice work on the variation in tone in the white paint. Are you planning to drybrush the base colors over the white? Only suggestion at this stage would be to darken the running gear, I think it would be unlikely for a crew to paint white behind the wheels...I'd go for a dark muddy brown, it'll contrast nicely with the whitewash. Keep us updated!

Thanks guys and she is far from finished this is one of those kits you touch only when your realy in the mood!!! I'm plannig on a lite spray of the base coat along some of the edges, but heard alittle denatured alcohol will have the same effect as rain of the white wash so I havn't decided on which method to use!!! as far as mud in the suspension I was going to do the cake method as I did on the Panther D. Should be interesting to see where this kit takes my sanity when its finished!! Stug
