StuG.III F/8 Early Production - Dragon 1/35 - Sicily


Recommended Posts

This was my project for the Panzer III STGB and it was a most enjoyable build. The Dragon kit was a really nice kit, but the instructions left a bit to be desired in a few places.

 

Kit: Dragon 1/35 No.6620

Paints: Humbrol, Revell, Citadel, Vallejo and Railmatch acrylic paints all applied by brush

Extras: Vallejo European Mud, Tamiya and HobbyBoss/Tristar figures, Redog and Tamiya stowage, MDF, pizza box packing styrene, Pollyfilla Multi-Purpose filler, Guagemaster Blended Turf, Army Painter Tufts, twigs from the garden, fuse wire, small jewellery chain, medium thread and MiniArt signs.

Just a couple of photos here to show how it looks on it’s base with a sky background:

Your models never disappoint Stix. Paint job and the weathering are excellent, as are the stowage and the figures. Great work all round.

Hi Stix,

A great job, I love how it turned out, you do not lack anything, vehicle, figures, base and background, and also all this with a brush and with a magnificent appearance.
I really like all the rear stowage that you have accumulated and arranged with very good judgment, all well attached (and not with glue ... lol).
Cheers and TC
Francis.👍
