Hello!
Here are some new parts for my StuG.
I would like to try to build a replica of the engine compartment. Unfortunately there is not much space. Technology and batteries require a lot of space. I still have the old Armortek option packs.

Congratulations to all new StuG owners!

After a long time I would like to report something on the progress of the construction of the StuG.
I mainly worked on the engine compartment simulation.
As already mentioned, there is not much space for this in the StuG, as the RC components (old version) and the batteries take up most of the space.
For the detailing of the engine, I'm still looking for pictures, including the lettering, nameplates, etc.

Its a lot to do! :D

Parallel to the HL120, I was busy with the side armor. Here I made a test.
Sorry, I'm not a good photographer.

As a change from engine building, I have now dealt with further interior fittings. Despite the limited space, I decided to add some details at least on the left side. here is the first radio.

Thank you Simon!
But my StuG does not come close to the detailed variety of your Sd.Kfz.7. :D
