How's the TWS engine?


The TWS's engine looks good to me...I will posted some pictures on them tomorrow...

Hi Marco,
Thanks for posting the photos. It looks pretty good. Lots of cutting and sanding ;)

Did you say DAK :thumb: :lol:

Those actually look real cool :-)

Yep...it is a long way to go...

Here we go...starting on the Chassis

Not to rain on the parade, but the only pics I have seen of DAK StuGs, where D's.

[Sticky]

Update. It appears that 3 StuG F/8 also made it to Afrika!

[RC_Hill]

No John....I was refering to the Pz/Stug III engine that Marco has that can be in Africa or Europe....

Yeah, all I've seen are Stug Ds and Fs, but in one of the Concord books of the DAK (the John Hensley one), there's an image of the rear of a Stug and it as the early idler...Don't know why...I may need to double check, but I'm pretty sure about that...at any rate, this kit would be nice to get....maybe a mix of the Dragon (superstructure and hull) and tamiya components to make an accurate D ;) (Dragons is nice, but the road wheels and some other details drive me nuts!)

[Sticky]

Please stay tuned as I am planning to use the Tamiya kit to make the A, D and E

[Flak]

I'm just finished the Torsion Bars on the Chassis...and has cutted off all the TMD's Engine parts out of the spures :lol:

I will HOLD on this one for a while...got to finish my PZIV C first...and just got the NEW AFV's "Drilling" today...cannot wait to start building it ;)
