Phas3e Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Hi all. Finished yesterday and got it into the booth. I'm no expert (this is my second armour build) but this is a lovely little kit, the only issues were some of the fit on the rear deck which seems to be a common looking around at builds. I replaced the kit skirts with brass sheet and used copper wire to create the loops on the sides as the kit only gives you little plastic nubs. Painted in Tamiya 50/50 XF60 and XF57 hairspray chipped over a base of Black primer and primer red in a preshaded style, Weathered with pretty much everything, oils, enamels, pastels, and pigments. thanks for looking 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Hi Phas3e, very nice little model, To be one of your first AFVs, your level at IHMO is very high, I really like the aged look you have achieved. The STUG is also very cool, a vehicle that I love. Cheers and TC Francis.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Very nicely done. I'm not sure about the inside hatch colour, though - I would have thought they'd be dark yellow or even red primer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I looked again - really very well done! Seems more real than a real SPG Vytautas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1960 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Nice built and realist weathering! IMHO the inner face of the hatches were in red primer not white. Ciao filippo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModelMonkey Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Great work! Weathering is beautifully done - looks perfect to my eye. I knew I shouldn't have opened the topic though, as I've now added a Hetzer to my wishlist.... 😀 🤦♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 That really is stunning. Some of the most realistic weathering I have seen. Very impressive! Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
