Calum Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) I'm calling this done, finished on the last day of 2012. I'm generally an aircraft modeller but I like to dabble in 1/48 armour. I was looking to do a very weathered and worn winter Stug and I wanted to try some of the AK interactive products and techniques to see if they would be transferable to my aircraft builds. I'm happy I achieved both those aims. I think it needs a base, and it a figure or 2 so maybe I'll add those later. I think it needs a antenna somewhere as well. The carpet monster ate the machine gun and shield so I've had to live without them. I also broke the armour modellers rule 101, i.e. every AFV needs a bucket. I did have one but forgot to finish it before photographing. Some Details Kit: Tamiya 1/48 Sturmgeschütz III Ausf.G (Sd.Kfz.142/1) Stowage: Legend and Verlinden PE: legend (the intake screens and rear frame is part of the legend stowage set) Metal Barrel: RB Model Edited January 5, 2013 by Calum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I also am mainly an aeroplane modeller, but I've always fancied the StuG III. Very pugnacious-looking, and you did a splendid job on the model! Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
