STUG III G in Spain - Tamyia 1/48

[exdraken]

next tank from my side, actually  an assault gun, that was used to train artillery units in Franco's dark post civil war Spain....

by the way,  6 out of 10 Spanish STUGs ended up in Syria, together with 17 Panzer IVs to fight Israel in 1967.....

one of them is or was on display in Cartagena city center museum arcades... were I saw it many years ago unaware of such details!

 

 

Tamiya STUG III Ausführung G - frühe Version 1/48

• metal tracksfrom Friul models (I got addicted to them already! )
• RB models 75 mm gun
• FC modeltips decals (numbers actually.... not much more!) 

 

anyways:

that is what I started with

 the build process in the fantastic PIII GB (Gallery) that ended yesterday:

 

 

 

I do hope you like it!

 

and together with its German expats:

 

cheers,

Hi Werner,

When I saw the Stug with the green color, I was surprised, but when I saw that it was in use by the Spanish Army, I already saw it logical ...
I do not know if that tone is the most correct, the vintage vehicles that I have seen (in person), and the most current, have a more olive tone.
Anyway, it's nice to see a Stug in such an original version, together with a PzIV.
Cheers and TC

thanks Franics! 

regarding color, neither do I .... originally the seem to have been yellow incl Zmmerit. But were repainted in green, accoding to the decals 71044.. whatever code that is  (the yellow is called out as primer 604...)

I based it a bit on these photos, maybe it should be more olive drab as I tried to discuss already in the WIP
