After a long absence from PA I coming back or something. This is for Stug III Group Build. I try to take this to finish fast enough.
There isn't much to show as I'm building this pretty much OOTB. This is current situation waiting for paint for wheels, hull etc.
I added stowage supports and also small plates for spare wheel holders as in this pic:

Unfortunately my version was a bit too low so spare wheels did not fit at all! In the process I managed to loose another holder so I had to do copy.
So here are few pics. There isn't that much to say as kit is excellent. Only minor modifying to upper and lower hull joint.

I have not decided which version I will make this but I'm open to suggestions. I'm leaning towards some winter camo version..

Hi Niko
According to my sources your Stug was build by MIAG (fender style) and accepted by the Army Ordnance Office between 3/43-5/43. So you have the chance to build a newer Stug with spring/summer Camouflage or a real veteran in winter camo (at the time where many tanks had allready Zimmerit)

Well, finally got some time to get this baby done. No pics yet, just got it painted with basecoat. Anyway, Mikko was asking whether I will do this OOTB and with wintercamo some time ago. And answer is yes.
Reason for trying out winter camo is my first attempt with hairspray technique, pic to follow:

Yes, it is a winged thing :D You gotta try new techs somehow, right?

And Robert, I'm going with latter option :)
