BerndM Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hi all, some photos of my recently finished StuG III from Dragon. Build out of the box with no problems. "Finished" means i have stopped at the point when Dragon stopped producing this kit. It needs spare tracks, towing cables and some stowage, while it looks like a new and unused in this condition i have kept the degree of dirt/weathering low. Anyway here are the photos, hope you like this one. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 That's a lovely looking little Stug! You've done a great job with the Panzer Grey fininish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I like it. The weathering is just right, especially the treatment on the hull sides behind the tracks. The brownish tones contrast perfectly with the overall gray. Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 It's a lll, so yes, I like it! Good job on the paint and weathering. John. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Can't beat a III, unless it's with another III. A fantastic short-gunned StuG, and as has been mentioned, a great job with the Pzr Grey. Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Yes, Pz.III's has something that they are looks good. Yours is done well. If can suggest something I would add some dust on the rubber bands on road wheels. Looks bit to clean compared to the rest of the model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hi Bernd. Nice to see you back with a build and what a great build it is too. Very impressive Stug III. I've got to do a Panzer Grey paint job on my current build so I will be using yours as inspiration. Very well done. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took some time the first result looked really blunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next one similar to a StiG III will be the SiG 33 from Dragon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Chris, that was also my thought while editing the photos. After the first layers of "dust" were on they became too brown so i repainted them too much in the other direction. If that build will get some add ons like stowage, the degree of dirt will get more heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Thanks mate Your coming PIII is a very nice kit, i am really looking Forward to see it. For a streaky dirt pattern i have started to use a sponge when applying a wash. It came out quite nice but subtle on the front of the StuG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was time to finish it and i am working on a Firefly Ic as well. The Bismarck has a break, i am struggling a bit with the right color shade of the superstructure but Warspite ( Academy 1:350 in a 1943 fit ) and a Tamiya USS Missouri 1:350 had some progress. 14 hours ago, Jim Wasley said: Liking it great build all round Cheers.

A bare tank will look wrong depicted as a combat Veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
