I don't know if I would have worried too much about the tracks, Leon. There are photos existing showing them mounted reversed at times.

good new Leon! Deep in a stack of kits, I've found a 75mm gun track. I'll dig the kit out, and retrieve the correct parts

Thank you Gary! Sounds like quite a stash to go through. I found two Stugg G's and neither one has the part you seek. Looks like I am sending the one out of the howitzer version. Where the others are is still a hidden mystery. By the way my stash is well over 500 kits. Need to run about a hundred on the "buy & sell" board here. If there's anything your looking for yell at me (all of you guys). I have one closet with a bunch of kits in it that's an unknown quantity! gary |

Nice work on the older Dragon(DML) kit Leon. I probably maybe might have those parts but they would be in one of about 15 boxes in the basement that would be work to get to...if I even have them lol.

Evening fellas! Finally got some primer on the StuG! Hope you like how it looks. The upper and lower hulls are just dry fit.They'll get married together after the tracks are on. BTW..I had a slight accident with the AB! Knocked it off its holder and it hit the floor needle first.  Needless to say i bent the needle and had to order a new one.

She looks good in primer bud! Sucks to hear about the needle! Did you try rolling it out on the front of your phone? Ask me how I know this can be done!! |

Thank you Todd! Didn't try phone but i did try it on one of the Mrs old makeup mirrors and hit it with some fine wet-dry sand paper. I'll have to load it with some paint and see how it sprays. |

Looking good!!! Same thing happened to me... I was able to repair the needle and use sandpaper to sharpen it. Working just fine for long time since the drop. Just don't tell your wife that you stole her best nail files!

Good morning Leon. I certainly am liking what you've done with the Stug. My condolences for you airbrush. I hate when that happens. When it's happening, you're thinking "Please land on the tail. Pllllleeeeaaaase land on the tail!". Then when it lands, you can tell by the sound it did indeed NOT land on the tail. Here's to speedy parts delivery for you.
