Hi Bjorn
Where did you buy the shurtzen for the Stug ?, I bought from FOA for my panzer III but came without instructions and they were like "it doesn't come with instructions "and it just seems like take a guess !! but those you have, as in the fittings and fixtures seem like a better quality.
cheers
Bryan.

Hi Bryan
I bought the" L - profil thing from Armorpax it was for a Panzer IV just had to shorten it .
The Schurtzen is home made from Alu sheet 0,8 mm and my own brass fittings.
I looked at Armorpax home page ,but couldn´t find the "L-profil thing any more, I bougth mine 2 years ago.
I proposes that you send Dave a mail , it might come back again.
Sorry to see Mike Stannards fine job go done the drain , with FOA it is really hearth breaking

First a picture , when Robert and I play around with our vehicle´s prior to going to Overloon
Ambush !
Second after battle report from Armortek Hill
Saturday was play day
big time with the Stug it did perform great.
Had a ball showing up with the audience , didn´t think off the some what damp grass and mud out there
so in late after noon it nearly lost a track. Due to great mud build up at the rigth side idler wheel / road wheel , what I didn´t see
at the time was that it had a bent Idler axle due to that.
Sunday hmm looked weird going off the trailer
ok eager to drive I charge the radio and battery and off I went
result in a broken track link " newbie" error.
So it was a "field repair" to limp back at pit area. Hmm not sure if I could/dare make the last parade .
Then Uwe had a idea and encourage me to try a different angle off the axle. And it worked out for the parade Thank you Uwe
So home to Sweden and Fritz and Heinz has a lot off maintenance to do
Commander inspection
No what happend ??
Finaly
Sorry but I just couldn´t resist play around a bit

Thank you Björn for these beautiful pictures.
But I think it's cheating that you have two mechanics to help you in your Panzer workshop.
