Stug III Ausf G early

[Evan August]

Here's some shots of my Stug. Tamiya kit with Eduard barrel and Tamiya etch set. I'll be adding a Warriors commander figure, and their Kharkov SS pair. I'll be basing this off of pics from Platz der Leibstandarte.

It looks like you're of to a great start Evan, have you got any mods or further additions in mind?

Thanks Willy. I think I'll go with some Fruil ostketten tracks and add some Aber PE for tool clamps and such. I was considering modifying the spare track and road wheel stowage, but I left the refs at behind while I'm at my parents' house this week.

:) Looking good Evan....another stugger into the fold. Keep us posted.

Thanks man, I don't have a digi cam, but I have pretty much completed construction except for the tools and their clamps. I'll see if it's possible to bum one from a friend or the library, but unless I get one there's going to be no pics for awhile. I textured the armor using liquid cement too. By the way, no building for me tonight, i wnet out on Platteville's 2nd Street and i'm no condition to do so.

Some new shots of my progress on the Stug. Gave it a coat of Gunze Mr. Surfacer 1000

Did some armor texturing with liquid glue, you can see the effects here-

Still have to add the spare track rack, I'll probably detail it with some MK wingnuts.

The Tamiya engine grilles set was used on the kit, went in perfectly-

Looks great Evan. Do you actually spray the Mr Surfacer through your airbrush? Doesn't it clog?

[Evan August]

Thanks Ian. I actually use a spray can of Mr Surfacer 1000.

Ian,

you can spray it through your airbrush, but you need to thin it heavily with Laquer thinner, and have a WELL ventilated place to do it. Not near say a water heater or such. Then clean it out right away with same thinner.

The Stug is looking good Evan.
