Sturmgeschutz III Ausf.G (Sd.Kfz.142/1) - Tamiya 1/48


Recommended Posts

My latest completion.......another lovely 1/48 kit from Tamiya. I've opted to try my cleanest whitewash finish so far. On previous winter camo AFVs, I've tried to make the whitewash look more worn. This time I tried to make the whitewash look less faded, but still like the Stug has been in use with it on for a while.

As I'm hindering helping @modelling minion with his Leopard STGB, at the end of May, I decided to stop at this point, rather than risk adding stowage, other figures or a base - which may have taken me another few weeks to complete. At some point in the future I might try to do something more with this model, but we'll see.

The only extras I added to the kit in the box were some Hauler PE grills, some Vallejo Snow product and a couple of brush bristles.

As usual, everything was painted with thinned acrylic paints applied with a variety of actual brushes!

Yet another fine example of your skills Stix! 👏 

The mud/snow effects are superb as are the weathering effects. 

 

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the leopard now!

Brilliant result mate, absolutely superb.

And you are definitely going to be a real help in the Leopard GB which I am very much looking forward to starting.

Very well done.

Hi Keith. Thank you very much for your kind comments and I'm looking forward to making the Leopard too! Although I am a bit concerned how big it looks in the box in comparison to the two 1/48 kits I've built more recently.....and don't get me started on the number of parts for the tracks!!! :hypnotised:

Kind regards,

Stix
