Rikywarbirds Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hey there, It's been a while since a have made a post... well, here I'm with a small beast: a Stug IV from Italeri, 1/35 scale. Is the first tank that I make since I was a little boy, and it is very grateful to do, I mean, I use to make Airplanes and when you have the freedom to make a more "dirty" work it feels good. The kit is really good, it comes with some PE parts an a metal canon barrel, separated track links, and a really good details in general. I had only added an MG34 from Dragon to upgrade him. For about 30€ is a very recomendable kit. And, here is he: 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Super Stug IV, great job on the weathering, scars, and chips etc. Particularly like the battle damage on the schurzen. Excellant modelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've decided not to put the decals, just as it had been a "Phantom Tank" 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Stugtaculous!it Looks like a great kit, made even better by some a great paint-job. I really like the shade of dunk gelb you've achieved. I reallise that the later photos look a bit TOO yellow because of the lighting. My only criticism would be concerning the aerials. They look a bit on the thick side to me. I look forward to seeing your next AFV! Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Beautiful paint and weathering job, show us more AFV's please 'cause you are on a roll if this is your first. I really like the distressed schurzen but then again I like the look with them removed too, all those road wheels look great. The rear end especially with the weathering on the muffler and the kinked tow cable looks realistic to me. Yes the aerials are a little over scale but some fine wire should sort that out. Excellent job for a first tank. Take care, Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairtrigger Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Great job ... Phantom tank, I like that. Just the ariels a little thick, but a little stretched sprue is an easy rectification. Your weathering is very effective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Good work, the older kits from Italeri are still good fun builds and building AFVs between aircraft projects is fun too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
