Oh man!!! You are truly a building machine. I am so glad you are having fun with this. I am very pleased that you went for the kit tracks... they are not that bad... just extra work and fun! LOL
Keep it coming my friend!

Andy,thank you!  It is a fun build,not a lot of parts and not overly enginneered.The worst part of the tracks was nipping them off the sprues. |

Evening fellas! I decided to give the StuG a little added protection up front and glued the rest of the tracks on.The bracket on the lower hull is a scrap piece of PE.Hope to get this primed tomorrow when i get home from work.Thanks for looking.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr |

IMHO, in spite of old age, and in some places poor detail - a good set!
Leon - good work! Good luck!

Serzh, thank you! For being an old kit it was fun to build. Now I just need to get some stowage and schurzen for it.

Admittedly I'm not a great fan of styrene indy links, but it could be worse Leon - the HB T-50 that recently arrived chez moi not only has indy links with four attachment points each, but also separate guide horns. So stop moaning and man up take this from the who hates Fruil anything! I've had that kit in a stack of kits for a year or so, and never opened it up. Now you tell me the tracks are even worse than Fruil's!! Time for Malox! gary |

liking how this is turning out, can't beat covering your stug with spare tracks, always looks great,what are you using for the schurzen?

Spare tracks for extra protection... how brilliant! They always make StuGs look a lot meaner!

Andrew, thank you! The only way to beat a good coat of primer is with a coat of dunkelgleb.
